I would suggest you go to: http://www.usgenweb.org Click on: Kentucky Look at the link for : County formations At least that would give you any of the early possibilities in Ky for such a marriage. If your ancestors later lived in the Knox Co. or surrounding areas, it could be they married in VA or elsewhere. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
