Marriage Returns of George Tarvin of the Dunkard Faith
General Notes: Dates given here are uncertain due to several factors. First, they were not reported sometimes for months to the county clerk. Second, often banns were read in church for several weeks before the marriage ceremony, which may not have occured on the date previously announced. Third, errors in reading the record and transcribing the dates have certainly crept into this data. Corrections are welcome. To sort this data in a different order, click on a column title. Names are sorted by last name.
