Marriage Madness with the Carleys

It all boils down to this: The Carley's and the Dolph's have some complicated relationships. At least, potentially.
To sort it all out, we're requesting microfilm that contains information regarding the marriages between Bartholomew Carley and Sarah Dolph as well as Bartholomew's dad Richard and Eunice Dolph.
Stay tuned to find out: Did Richard Carley--Bartholomew's dad--marry Eunice Dolph--Sarah's mom--late in life? Or is this a young couple who happens to have these same names? And what is the exact relationship between Sarah Dolph and Richard Carley? Are they married, too, as some records suggest?
We'll find out when the microfilm arrives. Until then, happy guessing!

Carl Braatz

According to the census records, Carl was born in 1851 and arrived in the US from Germany in 1867, which would have made him 15 or 16 when he arrived. As I recall from family stories, he came over with an uncle, and may have lied about his age at the time.
