Sarah Jane Chaney Turley v James Washington Turley (Journal 4 p423 - Nov 1855; p585 - 21 Mar 1857; Journal 5 p77 - 8 July 1857, p359 - 4 Dec 1858; Roll 9) - see Family Report on Chaney

The couple was married on 25Oct 1854, in Amboy, Hillsdale Co, MI (Marriage V2 p75). He was 21 and she was 16 years of age. Jane Chaney Turley, a resident of Superior Twp, Wms Co, OH, stated that Washington was willfully absent for three years or more. He deserted her two days after the marriage and he went back to Tiffin, Seneca Co, OH.
According to the Republican Standard, 4 Feb 1858, there was a published petition for divorce:
Washington Turley of Tiffin, Seneca Co, OH, to be aware that Jane Turley did on 2 Feb 1858 file her petition in Williams Co, OH charging Washington Turley with wilful abscence from the said Jane Turley of more than three years and asking that she may be divorced from Washington Turley and for alimony, which petition will be hearing at the next term of court.
Jane Turley, filed by her attorney
After being continued for three times the action was dismissed here without prejudice and she received $350 alimony, but in Nov 1858 Jane Chaney Turley, aged 16, divorced Washington Turley, aged 20, in Tiffin, Seneca Co, OH. These ages match those of when they were married. I surmise they ran away to get married as Jane was under age.
