     I am researching a family that has origins/events in Westmoreland, Allegheny, and possibly Armstrong or Washington Counties. I have a request for a Civil War pension payment from 1898. On the application, the soldier had to list a marriage. He wrote that he was married in Tarentum in 1846 and there is no license. He indicates that the marriage was recorded in probate courts in Allegheny County. In what group of probate records would this be recorded? It is not an estate or will. Would it somehow fall into Orphan's Court. Stumped as to where to look.
