Hello All, I received a number of answers to my post, all with excellent information. Here's something someone else may be able to use: >To order copies of marrieage licenses: Send a request to the Victoria County >Clerk, 115 N. Bridge St., Victoria, TX 77901, they will make you a copy. Their fee is: $2.00 for >a plain copy and $7.00 for a certified. Give their full names, the date and include a self->addressed, stamped envelope and your check for which ever one you want. >This will be >about the most official record you are going to get and since it is from >a county clerk in the State of Texas it will be official, especially if you order the certified copy. >There will be no church record. The Methodist ministers took their records with them when >they moved on. They were not left at the church they were leaving. Thanks to everyone who sent such great information regarding Robert Hill. There is finally a crack in that brick wall thanks to the very helpful people on this list. grace Grace Adams Gleason Still looking for William Alexander Adams, b. VA 1827, d. Goliad Co.
