(In Marriage Records renamed the first heading Early-Present, as there is no reference to 1952 in the text. Moved the text that was in 1952-Present to Early-Present. Deleted the former 1952-Present heading.) |

Marriage records are kept by the individual counties. Records often date back to the time of county organization. By 1805 licenses were often granted by a court of ordinary in the county where the bride resided, or marriage banns were published at a nearby church. You can write to the clerk of the court of ordinary for copies. | Marriage records are kept by the individual counties. Records often date back to the time of county organization.
