I believe the marriages came from the Indiana State Genealogy site - Indiana Marriages to 1850
I am not entirely sure from whence the land records came (sorry)
La Porte County formed 1832 from Indian lands.

JOHN BOTHWELL was born in County Moneghan, Ireland, March 17, 1803, and is a son of
Charles and Mary Bothwell, also native of County Moneghan, Ireland. The [me - grandfather???] father of our subject, John Bothwell, Sr., was a native of Ireland, where he married and died, having reared five children--James, David, Mary, Margaret and Charles. Charles Bothwell, while in Ireland, married Mary Gordon; emigrated in 1809 to America, and settled in Pennsylvania, where he closed his life. He was the parent of the following: Samuel,William, Ann J. and John. Our subject, John Bothwell, married, January 14, 1832, Miss Nancy, daughter of John and Elizabeth Loraign. The following spring Mr.Bothwell moved to Montgomery County, Penn., and in 1838 to Morgan County, Ind., when he settled in this township, which has since been his home. Mrs. Bothwell died April, 1856, and some time after Mr. Bothwell wedded Mrs. Weathers, widow of Richard Weathers, who died February 1, 1883. Mr. Bothwell has been father to the following children: Samuel, Anna, Mary, David, John, Hugh, Sarah, James, Ann J., Isabel, Martha and Margaret.
I found this a little difficult to follow, but I think it says:
