Thanks, Mary. The first page starts with the mg. in 1781 of Samuel Wells and Mary Spear. It ends with the mg. of Alex. Breckenridge and Jenny Floyd 1784/1785. I have only through page 12 (1791), the thought being that marriages after that point that would relate to Nelson Co. families would be kind of sp otty. I find relative few marriages of interest in what I do have. I wonder if there were really that few marriages in those first five years before Nelson was formed. I would bet that a lot of records were lost. More frustrating to me is the inability to locate any Jefferson Co. deeds other than ones that have to do with town lots in Louisville. I think Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cooke sort of implied that they couldn't find any such book(s) for the early period. Bob
