Sue, I noticed where you said you were transcribing "Dade County marriage book "B" & are well past 1871" and "Dade County marriage records are back to 1866 with a few prior to that time that were recorded late." Does that mean there is a Dade Co. Marriage Book "A" for earlier dates? I 'thought' my G Grandparents, Louisa D. Hale and Alexander Rhodes Morrison were married in Dade Co. GA in either 1859 or 1860 (since Louisa's father, Mark Hale was listed there in 1860 census) and wondered if any records go back that far? It is possible they could have married in Walker or Murray Cos. because I believe that Alex. Morrison lived in both of those counties but I don't know the history of how the county lines changed.

I also have the Delta publication which you mentioned but did not find George E. Murray and Susan Elizabeth Satterwhite. I've checked this before for someone else and I don't think they married in Dade County but can't remember what I found. I tried DeKalb County AL marriage records but didn't find anything there either. Linda Wilson.... isn't Susan Elizabeth Satterwhite related to one of yours? They weren't in Dade County 1880 census. Was Susan Elizabeth Satterwhite the daughter of David Satterwhite and first wife, Mary E. Beckham? As far as a marriage record for James Alexander Mason and Rachel Nettie Irwin... they were married in Walker County GA and can be found in Walker County marriage book 5, page 233. If you will telephone Probate Judge Foye Johnson's office in LaFayette, they can mail a zerox copy of the record to you for a small charge. Or I can get a copy for you when I'm in LaFayette which will probably be one day next week. You asked the question about original records in Walker and Dade County. Walker County marriage records go back to 1883 with a few recorded late that took place prior to 8 Feb 1883 when the courthouse burned. Dade County marriage records are back to 1866 with a few prior to that time that were recorded late. Sue
