Does anyone know if Marriage records exist for Garrett Co. from 1850 - 1860? If so, do you have to go to the courthouse to retrieve them, or are they on CD-Rom somewhere? ****Garrett Co. records prior to 1872 were/are stored in Allegany County since Garrett Co. didn't exist until 1872.**** Also, is Sang Run and/or Selbysport in Garrett Co. or Allegany Co? **** Prior to 1872 in Allegany Co. - after 1872 in Garrett Co.**** Connie > I'm searching for my 3rd g-grandparents marriage record in this area: > Barnabas "Barney" DEWITT, b. 1823, Allegany Co., and Margaret "Maggie" unknown, b. about 1835, Allegany Co., MD. I think it's them I found living in Selbysport on the 1860 census. > > Margaret was previously married to "unknown" around 1850-51, and had a daughter, Mary E., who was born in 1852. I've never been able to identify Mary E.'s father, or Margaret's parents. > > Since Barney was, according to family hearsay, a Methodist minister, I thought perhaps church records would be my best bet, as I haven't found them on any other MD marriage lists. > > THANKS TO ALL for listening - any suggestions are welcomed. > > Lynn > ====================================== > Looking for your Garrett County ancestors?
