Mary, I have been trying to determine a marriage date for my g-grandparents (James Brock and Sarah Elizabeth Ivey). It appears that both were born in or around Bledsoe County, TN. They later were in Rhea and Campbell County, TN; however, no records of their marriage in either county. From the 1900 Campbell County census, I can ascertain that they were married in 1875/76. I hadn't thought about they're possibly going to the Chattanooga area for the ceremony, but maybe they might have. I would certainly appreciate your checking to see if they might appear in the document you have. Much thanks, Donna (Brock) Strong Lowrey, Mary E. wrote: > > Hi > > I have gotten a copy of "Hamilton County Pioneers" (Wilson, 1998) on > inter-library loan and have it for only this week.
