There are some bride and groom listings by Mary Turner Kinard "Chickasaw Nation Marriages Ardmore Courthouse" 1895-1907. The Ardmore Public Library has the book on the Brides but the book on the Grooms apparently grew legs and walked off. But the Carter County Museum has a copy of both. If you find the ones you are looking for the Library has them on film and probably could make copies for you. The information in the bride book would read similar to this: Groom Age Bride Age Date Place Vol-pg Horn, Abbie 25 Sander, Ella 18 24 Dec 1905 Eastman I-566 Title sheet on the INDEX Books Roll# A Apr 1895-Mar1896 469 B Mar 1896-Mar 1897 469 & 470 C Mar 1897-Dec 1898 470 D Dec 1898-Jun 1900 471 E June 1900-Sep 1901 471 F Sep 1901-Nov 1902 472 G Nov 1902-Dec 1903 472-& 473 H Dec 1903-Jan 1905 473 I Nov 1905-Dec 1905 474 J Dec 1905-Dec 1906 474 I 1907 (OK Statehood) This area covers counties of McClain, Garvin, Carter, Stephens, Grady, Jefferson, Love, Murray, Pontotoc, Johnston, & Marshall. For everyones information to the Greater Southwest Historical Museum (I called it the Carter Co. Museum above) is having a PICKENS COUNTY, I.T. SWAP MEET on July 17, 1999 startin at 10:00 am until 4:00pm. There is a registration fee for those attending but I think you might be able to send in your family papers and who you are researching and they would include it and some of your family might find you.
