Shelby, The county in which the marriage certificate is typically recorded in is the county of residence of the bride. The marriage does not always occur in the county the marriage certificate is applied for. In this case Artle Smith and Evelyn Rowe married on 2 Sep 1944 in Clothier no County given. Both listed as residence of Blair and the marriage certificate was recorded in Logan County. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=10223210&Type=Marriage Joel -----Original Message----- From: wvlogan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:wvlogan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of BurgessWV@aol.com Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 4:09 PM To: WVLOGAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WVLOGAN] Legal Question: Which County Are They Married In ?

I was looking to see how close to the county line Clothier was, and I noticed that Google maps has it WRONG! I know Clothier isn't down Island Creek!
