I checked for Johnson County and Pope County marriages and didn't find one in these two counties. Newton County was part of Carroll county and it is a burn county, also. Boone County wasn't formed until 1869. So, no, I think she probably married in Newton County and the record was burned when the courthouse did.
My husband had a suggestion. Do you know the name of the person she married? If so, try checking for a record for him in the Civil War. If there is a pension record, there would have to be proof of the marriage for her to draw from his service in the War. She could draw for her children if he died in the war, or she could draw from his service if she outlived him and he drew a pension. Union service records will be at the National Archives in Washington, DC and Confederate records will be in the State Archives where they lived at the time they drew the pension. Hope this will help you find a record. Either way of drawing a pension for the woman, she would have to have proof that she married the soldier.
