Dear List, I live in Cooke County, Texas, and am willing to do some lookups at the court house. I can check for marriages, birth & death certificates (when available), and sometimes am able to find wills, deeds. I can also check the cemetery books at our library for Cooke County gravesites. My price is right! I work for free. This is the only way I can say "thank you" to all the wonderful people who have helped me in my research. Blessings, Dorie

Dorie, I would appreciate your checking for a record of a marriage. The marriage was between my great-grandparents. The marriage, I think, took place toward the end of December in 1888 in Cooke County. I have searched at the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, on the internet and in books. Can't find it. Groom: Charles A. Eaton (born 1864) Bride: Sallie J. Greer/Pierce/Thacker (born 1865) The problem is her name at the time of marriage. She was born Sallie Jackson Greer. She first married, according to an elderly cousin, John English Pierce in Grayson County. Because Sallie J. Greer's father died in the Civil War her mother remarried to a man named Thacker. So she could have married under any of the three names. At the time of the marriage she had an almost two year old son from her first marriage. Assuming she was married to John English Pierce, he died about 1888. Thank you for anything you can do. Jean
