My friends - Today, we are returning to our review of the early marriage records for Marshall County. We have, in prior posts, worked our way up to 1851, and we will continue with that year in this post. If you see a marriage of interest to you, and you would like the complete data for the marriage(which usually includes the date of marriage, who performed the ceremony, the name of the surety, name(s) of witness(es), and consents, if necessary), let me know and I will forward that information to you. *Please* do not resend this entire message back to me with your request. Your help in that area is greatly appreciated. Just a brief note about the JP Homecoming event. As you know, I have created a separate mail group for those interested in attending the event. Two messages have gone out to those on that list. If you have not received these messages, and you are interested in attending the JP Homecoming next year, please be sure to let me know so that I can add your name to the other list. We have had 5 new subscribers join the List over the past few days, and I want to take a moment to welcome them and invite them to post their genealogical research needs in the 8 counties of the Jackson purchase region here to the List. From the reports I get, we have seen some phenomenal connections made between subscribers researching the same lines, with the happy result that everyone benefits. The JP Images web site is available for your perusal(the URL was in your Welcome Message), and the searchable JP List Archives are also available for your use here: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L Information on land grants which are available in the JP region(from our continuing series on that subject) can be found here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/JPGrants.htm Again, welcome. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Early Marshall County Marriages - Part 8 Ratcliffe, James E.
