I'm trying to establish contact with anyone related to .... or knowledgable about ....... Joe Pruett DOB ca. 1900 and his younger brother Frank Pruett, and the Pruett family lines. Joe Pruett was my uncle and a fine gentleman. He worked for many years at ACIPCO in Birmingham, and also was a part time lay preacher. I lost track of Joe and Frank many years ago, before I was old enough to understand the value of family histories. Joe and Frank were the sons of Andrew Jackson Pruett, wife's name not known. AJP later married Nancy Ann [Stark] Wells. My mother was a child of that marriage. AJP was my grandfather, although I never knew him personally.

Yes, the application is what you fill out to get the license, they do not put them with the marriage licenses that you can copy, but they are public record, they have more information on them than the actual license, also they will probably tell you they are not public record - of course that may be different in different states, I know in Columbus, Ga, they are kept in seperate boxes, filed by number that is on the license, and I have taken them out and made copies and just put them back in the little boxes in the vault - but then, if a copier is close, I make copies of anything I can - not sure they have them back in the 1890's because I got a license from 1890 and could not find a box with the number of the license, it may of been lost or they may not of kept them then, you have to just rummage around ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Hogan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [ALJEFFER] Marriage Application | Peggy | | I don't know that I have seen any "applications" - everything I have been shown are recorded in Marriage Books - with top half showing the license info and the bottom signed by the minister/jp who performed the marriage.
