If any of you are looking for the records of the marriage license of your ancestors who you thought may have been married in Preston county, but haven't found them yet, Check out the Garrett Co Md Court house. Oakland Maryland was and probably still is the marriage capital of the East Coast and Preston Co WV. There was not a 3 day waiting period or blood test in the early times, With money be in short supply, most weddings in Preston Co and the Northern part of WV were performed in Oakland. After 2 years of searching, I found my grandparents were married in Oakland in 1927. The record records the names of the bride and groom, their ages, the towns in which they lived and the name of the minister. It did not list the parents names. The B&O train went from various stops in preston co to Oakland. Among them were Masontown, Kingwood, Tunnelton, Newburg, Rowlesburg and of course Terra Alta and Aurora.
