Don, I'm not sure about Cherokee county, but if they have them on file, like some courthouses, the application for a license is what you need. It has all kinds of information on it, including parents names (sometimes) if the bride or groom were underage. Very few courthouses have these back that early and if they did have them then, lots were burned when Sherman marched through. You might give the courthouse a call and ask them if they have any old applications. Also, I'm thinking that the license is given in the county that the couple actually planned on getting married in. Anyone else know any differently? Regina

The license is taken out in the county the bride is from. This isn't always true---my grandmother's license came from my grandfather's county. But his father was the JP that married them, so I feel sure they pulled a few strings. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Ginafaith@aol.com> To: <gacherok@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 11:03 AM Subject: Re: [GACHEROK] Early Georgia Marriages > Don, I'm not sure about Cherokee county, but if they have them on file, > like > some courthouses, the application for a license is what you need.
