Hello, I recently saw a posting for another message board that someone had a book with early marriages for Calhoun Co. I wondered if someone on this list may have that book. The marriage I am interested in was for Feb. 16, 1876 for an Ida Townsend to someone named Curran. It is the person she married that is of interest to me. If someone has that book and can send me the information on the groom, I would sure appreciate it. Thank you, Leemae
