Sherri, You might check with the Rutherford County Clerk's office. I've not been there myself for research purposes, but someone there should at least be able to point you in the right direction if the records are not kept there. They are located at 319 North Maple Street (just a couple blocks north of the square) and their phone number is 615-898-7798. If they don't know, try the librarian in the Historical Research room at Linebaugh Public Library. Linebaugh's number is 893-4131 and they're located at 105 West Vine Street (a block south of the square). Good luck! Debora ----- Original Message ----- I am going to be in Murfreesboro the first part of June and want to find the original marriage record/certificate of my gr-grandparents from 1821. There is some controversy as to her last name and I want to view the actual paper myself. Where would I go to find this document? Thanks! Sherri
