Hi, Jeannie, Thanks for responding. My problem was that I didn't know the county. I just knew KY. Savilla Hanks was born in Montgomery Co. so that is where I checked first. The courthouse there burned in 1863 destroying the marriage records. I was checking all counties close to Montgomery first before moving outward. I think it was Montgomery, though. Thank you for checking your records and I will try Brown Co., OH, too, if I don't have any luck. Better to run out all options than to quit midstream. Michelle At first there was nothing. Then God said 'Let there be light!' Then there was still nothing. But you could see it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Dalrymple" <motherd@theriver.com> To: <KYNICHOL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2000 8:30 AM Subject: RE: [KYNICHOL] marriage question What county were they married in? And what county was she born in... you will most likely find they were married in the county that she was living in, unless they lived rather close to the county line then go to the adjoining county and try there.... The marriage records/bonds are pretty much all intact for Nicholas co. I have a book of marriages and that does not show a James Craig but that does not mean that they were not married there... also try Brown Co., OH.......

(Aren't we all looking for that?!?) I am in a strange bind. I need to know the county that a marriage took place. I know the name: James Craig to Savilla Hanks. I know the date: 21 Mar/Apr 1803. I know the state: KY. I need to know the county. I am checking all of the counties in close proximity to where they lived. Thanks in advance, Michelle Clark hiswill@midwest.net At first there was nothing. Then God said 'Let there be light!' Then there was still nothing. But you could see it.
