The original marriage application where they name the father (most are not available) Can someone help you to check to see if this choice is avalible in my case for Hix Martin and Margaret Casey for 1844 Forsyth Co. GA Town of Cumming. it should be dated sometime around the same date as the License itself I would assume. Jan. 5th 1844 D. M. Cay or Coy Ordinary They were then joined on Jan. 7th, 1844 by W. D. Williams MG Book No. A page 190. I hold photos of these folks.
