Jerusha married Alden Burdick on 12 Jan 1826 in Athens County, Ohio (as per "Ohio, U.S., County Marriage Records, 1774-1993" records available on Ancestry and FamilySearch). Their oldest child Columbus Burse Burdick was born on 22 Aug 1826, as per his headstone at the Wheatland Cemetery in Yuba, California; Columbus' 1866 California voter registration and 1870 US Census both state he was born in Ohio.
The Ancestral File gives a marriage date as 1845 in Nauvoo, Illinois. The Ancestral File may be referring to sealing in the Nauvoo Temple which took place years after their civil marriage.
