Clayton
co. Marriage Record Index
1839-1861
A
Important notes!
1) Browse all of the records &
be creative with surname spellings.
2) The original index contains 2 alphabetical lists, one for each
name of the contracting parties. They have been combined into one
index and alphabetized by groom surname for this on-line
transcription. The transcriber has cross-checked the first entry
against the second
3) Frequently the first & second entries were not identical.
In those cases the discrepancies have been
noted in the column 'transcribers notes' or if 2 different page
numbers were given, both have been listed in the 'page' column.
4) Possible alternate spellings or dates are also entered in the
'transcriber notes' column, along with any other pertinent
information to clarify the data. Occasionally it was not apparent
from either entry, which name was the groom and which was the
bride, so that has been noted 'groom and bride may be
reversed'. Those entries appear in the Miscellaneous page.
5) There are a few marriage licenses indexed in with the marriage
records. They have been retained in this transcription.
