Hello everyone! I purchased a copy of Stokes County Marriages 1839-1887. I purchased it with the hope of locating a marriage between David Anderson and Sarah Ann Pell in 1839. What I didn't know before purchasing the book is that only 22 licenses survive the period between 1839 and 1850. Unfortunately, my marriage wasn't one of them. I will look up marriages for the group to make use of the book now that I have it. I would like to suggest to the Genealogical Society of Rockingham and Stokes County that they rename this book "A Few Early Marriages of Stokes County" and publish the few early ones as a pamphlet. Then publish "Marriage Licenses of Stokes County 1850-1887" as a complete book. The title is misleading unless you know the specific history of marriage licenses in the county. Please post to the group or email me privately. Regards, LAP _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
