RESPONSE: There are a number of different marriage books for marriages in Knox Co. Up through 1911, these marriage books have been transcribed and are available for purchase from the Knox Co. Genealogical Society. Marriages from 1800 - 1850 are contained in Marriage Book A. Here is the marriage you are looking for: November 16, 1844 PAYNE, Elisha to: VANNOY, Mary Wm. P. READ, minister; Elijah PAYNE, father; Alexander VANNOY, bondsman I thought I had given you this marriage earlier but perhaps I did not.

While in Knox Co a yr and a half ago, I combed the courthouse for all Payne records, and found no marriage for Elihu, with the exception of his m. to Mahala Smith. Now it's always possible that I could have missed it, but assuming that I didn't, is there another place that may hold co. records? Thanks, Bev<
