Dearborn County, Indiana suffered a courthouse fire on 5 March 1826 that destroyed all records, including marriage records. William Major was a justice of the peace in Dearborn County from 1805 to 1813 and served as a county judge from 1814 to 1817. Major kept a list of marriage licenses issued from 1806 to 1815 by the county clerks. The original record was given to the Tippecanoe County Historical Association.
