Gerald, I don't have the Vockery's Madison Co Marriages book, but do have their books of 2 other counties. I found the bonds I needed at EKU, microfilm of the orignals. Don't know when that film was made. Mine were all early - 1788 to 1809, and were there. As to wills, yes; many wills were "lifted" from the county clerk's office. My 5thGGf's 1817 will is in Jessamine Court House, but his wife's 1842 will is missing (but was copied by clerk into Will Book). Also, some clerks were horrible at copying correctly. Some were not dated as to when they were entered in court for probate!! I think that was in very early Madison or Lincoln counties. I found differences in the spelling of names between the actual will and the clerk's copy. Oh, well.....
