I am trying to find a marriage record for George W. FAUST and Katherine
Elizabeth SHEETS in Pennsylvania.

Katherine was born 8 July 1854 in Northumberland Co., the daughter of Jacob
and Sarah (nee WEIDENHAMMER) SHEETS (or SHEETZ); Katheirne's siblings were
born in Northumberland and Snyder Counties. George's birth date is 8 Jun
1852 in PA. This information comes from the book The John Jacob Dreibelbis
Family of America, 1732-1930 by Harvey C. Dreibelbis (I will do lookups),
and from census information.

I have found an IGI record stating that George W. FAUST and Katherine E.
SHEETS were married in 1874 in Montour Co., but when I contacted the
Montour County Clerk, they could find no record of this. However Sarah's
brother, Wellington Dreibelbis WEIDENHAMMER, is found in Montour Co. in the
1850 and 1860 censuses (Jacob & Sarah's daughter, Sarah Jane, is living
with Wellington in 1860; her intended, Henry W. GIBSON also lives in
Montour Co.). Can anyone tell me if there are marriage indexes for Milton,
Northumberland and Snyder counties?

Ultimately, I am looking for the parents of George W. FAUST, who have
eluded me thus far. I cannot find anything conclusive for him in any census
prior to 1880, by which time he and Katherine had moved to Indianapolis,
Indiana. I am at a loss as to how to locate his parents. Any suggestions
are welcome.

Thank you,
