Donalsonville did not require parental consent and that is why so many marriages from out of state took place there. Several years later many of marriages that took place in the 40's, 50's & 60's were not legal because the person performing the marriages was not licensed.

I have spent many summers and even more Holidays in Marianna and Jackson Co with my family. I have been trying to understand something... why did people, say a generation or so ago, live in Jackson Co, and yet are married in Decauter Co Ga, or Donaldsonville? ( I think it may be spelled Donalson or Donalsonville???) Ga? Any ideas why? Thanks!
