William B. TOPPING (1807-1891) and Eunice CLARK (1813-1889), my ancestors, lived at Homer, Cortland Co., N.Y., as young people and married there on Jan. 5, 1835. I do not know Eunice's parents' names and am wondering what is the best way for me to find a record of their marriage. Any advice welcome.
They and their children left Homer in 1861, ending up at Waupaca, Wis. I would be happy to transcribe their obituaries for the Cortland site if it is of interest, or share with others interested in this line.

I am looking for my ancestry and I have come across the name Hulda WARREN and I believe at the time she was in Solon, Cortland NY. She may have been married to an Augustus STOWELL.
I was hoping that you could find a date of death and place of burial suspected time of death about 1818. We are uncertain if she even died in your town but we must check all leads.
Thank you SO much for your time.
