Hi, Found a couple of marriage records while researching at the Blairsville (Union Co., Ga) courthouse yesterday and thought I'd pass them along for those who are new to the list ..... like me! Sorry about the genealogy report format, but easier than retyping it all. Hope it is of some help to someone.

Recorded January 19th 1869 (1870?). W.R. Logan, Ordinary[1] 1860 Union Co. GA census lists Matilda, age 8, in household #685 with her mother M.(ary) Grantham, age 23*, and younger brother William Grantham, age 2. (* age seems to be recorded incorrectly on Union Co. Website, Census pages for 1860 need to compare with original census, should read about 32-33 when compared with 1850 census) On the 1850 Union Co. census Matilda's parents are listed in household #108. Her father, M.[athadeas] M. Grantham , age 23, was a merchant and owned 2 slaves[2]. Her mother, Mary, was age 22, and her older brother, Andrew, was 2. Andrew was born in Georgia. The parents were both born in North Carolina. Listed in the household was a Joseph Thomas, age 53, born in NC and John Rickets, age 20, also born in NC.[2] Mathadeas M. Grantham was the first postmaster of the Young Cane militia district, it was granted November 4, 1846. He was followed by John G. Parks in 1857.[3] In 1870, Matilda, age 18, now married, was listed in household #431 as "Catharine M." with her husband, Isaac Queen (Jr.). Next door at household #432 was Isaac's father and step-mother, Isaac Sr. and Dicy Queen. Also in Isaac Sr.'s household were Matilda's younger brother and sister, William Grantham, age 12, and Sarah Grantham, age 8. By the 1880 census, it appears that Matilda had died and Isaac had married his second wife, Mary.[4] Judging by the age of Isaac's and Mary's oldest child, John M., age 6, Matilda's death probably occurred between 1870 and 1873.
