Gale,

I would guess that the reason your 3g grandparents' marriage is in the
Orphan Court book is that one of them had been orphaned (lost both parents
or just the father) and was still an "infant" thus still under the
jurisdiction of the court.

  An even more interesting fact is that my ggg grandparents marriage was 
  recorded in the Orphan Court record in Adams Co., MS in the early 1800s.
Why 
  marriage records would be there is beyond my understanding.
