The Alliance [Stark Co., Ohio] Genealogical Society published three Stark County Early Marriages covering 1809 to 1870. In publication covering 1809-1840, I find a David Brown and Polly Cook married on 27 May 1839; Volume B, page 94. There is also a Daniel Brown and Elizabeth Smith married 30 Apr 1840; Volume B, Page 116. No Braun listed. In publication covering 1841-1855, there is a David O. Brown and Mary Ann Tinkler married on 13 May 1855; Volume C, Page 124. No Braun listed. You can order copies of the actual marriage records which are on microfilm and at Stark County District Library. I doubt there will be any parental information shown because typically no such information recorded until 1900s in Ohio. The Library should be able to help you. http://www.starklibrary.org/genealogyservices.html You can request copies by snail mail or via their website - just go down to section showing Request Forms and click on that. Their charges for copies are only actual copy cost plus postage. They will mail an invoice to you along with requested copies.

Originally from Bedford county PA then to Stark county. in the early 1800`s. I believe my GGGGgrandfather David Brown is David Brown the son of Daniel and Elizabeth Houser. Does anyone have early marriage records for Stark county or KNOW who this David was married to? I know who my David was married to. Is there anyone out there who is still tracing this family? thanks, Cathy in Iowa
