Hi Lanita, The Randolph Co Marriage Index which I have online starts 1837. The book for which you are considering ordering covers marriages from 1821. Mr Knotts notes the following in the books introduction "So that the Randolph Co marriage list would be more complete, the marriages in book A1 and A2, Lawrence Co Ar, Arkansas Territory, for the period 1821 - 1836, were abstracted and included herein." There are no marriages recorded in the Randolph Co Clerks office prior to 1837. Please remember that Randolph County has a long history. It has been part of: Four Countries - France, Spain, the Confederacy and the United States. Four territories - District of Louisiana (1804), District of New Madrid (1805), Territory of Missouri (1815) and Territory of Arkansas (1819). Two states - Missouri and Arkansas Three counties - New Madrid, Lawrence and Randolph. In 1835, Randolph officially came into existence as a separate county in the Arkansas Territory. Arkansas was admitted to statehood in 1836.

I am thinking of ordering the 2 R.C. marriage books from Arkansas Research. One is from 1821-1893, and the other is from 1893-1923. Do you already have all of these online, or what year did you start with?

Betty, Thanks for the updated email address. Yes, I am aware of Randolph Co.'s history as being a part of Lawrence Co.. I am ordering their marriages as well. I just didn't want to order a book if you've already done the hard part by putting them online! Thanks! Lanita
