Did your ancestral couple permanently separate but not divorce because “we don’t do that in our family?” If so, there may be a court case for “separate maintenance” or a separation agreement filed in the local records. The illustration for this post is from a separation agreement from 1862 filed with land records in Campbell County, Kentucky. The couple was not divorcing, but did separate all their property in the agreement.
