Has anyone had experience getting early marriage records from the clerks office in Stafford Co? How far back to they go? Has anyone hired a researcher there? Thanks, Mary Looking for Joseph Stone & Mrs. Susan Southard in 1823.

These are the marriages that I could find for Stone and for Southard/Suthard during the time period that you are looking. I also threw in the Stone marriages from 1851 - 1900, as I saw that some are offspring of the mentioned couple. I am certain that these are not all inclusive, but hopefully this will help some.
