(3) Marriage License for MARY ANN WILLIAMS b. 1825, Cornwall,

Cornwall, England married Nov, 1867 in MI.
They were at one time in Rockland, Ontonagon County, MI, but

I am looking for information on Luther Riker. He seemed to cross over
the border from Lenawee to Hillsdale Co. with Regularity. Also into
Jackson Co. In 1835, Jackson - in 36 Lenawee, 1841 Hillsdale, until
after 1860 and then to Isabella around 1870, where his youngest dau got
married. He may have returned to Lenawee after that, as I find a LUTHER
PIKER in the 1880 census that kinda fits but not quite. However, the
mistakes match the mistakes his son Charles Riker made on the census,
which makes me consider him.
Is there any one out there that might help?
