    2. Duane, I along with a friend have been going to Rutledge for several months now and have been trying to sort through all the files. I'm sure that you are aware that the records in Rutledge are a mess. Several years ago the basement in the courthouse flooded and alot of the records were soaked. As far as I know the officials at Rutledge tried to save the records. They moved the records to the old Rutledge High School to store them and to try to allow them to dry out. A couple of friends and I went to the old school and tried to pull out all of the old license/bonds that we could find and returned them to the court house. Debi and I have been trying to transcribe all the license/bonds. We have had to refile alot of the records. Some are very hard to read. Our first little booklet contains the oldest records. 1796-1809. #2 book contains 1810-1819, #3 contains 1820-1829. I want everyone to know that it is the opionion of some that I'm trying to take advantage of some people out there because the records can be found on micro film. I'm not certain that all the records have been micro filmed but I am certain that I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone. I have been selling the books for $15.00 each and this includes shipping. If you find any license/bond in our book that means that it is located in the courthouse and I can make you a copy of it for the same price the courthouse charges me. So I am making no money on the copies. There are copies of an index of the marriages in Grainger Co. but that doesn't mean the license/bond is still at the courthouse. Our book is a list of marriage license/bond that is there now. Anyone interested please contact me privately at IMsMickey@aol.com. I hope this answers your questions. Thank you.
