Does anyone familiar with researching in Troup Co. know what, if any, kind of license would be required for a physician to practice in Troup Co. in the 1840's. My ancestor, Dr. Moses Austin Martin married Eliza Alford in Troup Co. 2 Jul 1844. After their marriage the Martins lived one year in TX and then in Pike Co. AL until the late 1880's. Dr. Martin was born in NY State c. 1816, possibly Albany Co., but I have been unable to find his parents or anything else about his background. Would like to determine where he received his medical education etc. Thanks for any advice or help. Addice in Fairfax, VA
