FIRST MARRIAGES IN THE COUNTY
By A. J. Hoisington

for various purposes.  As there was then no official machinery for issuing marriage licenses in this county until its permanent organization, Jan. 1, 1849, it would be interesting to known who were married in this county under licenses issued in Marion.  Existing records in this county give no clue.  There is said to have been one, probably more.  Who knows?
     As before stated, there is no marriage register before No. 105, of date July 4, 1855, except a few duplicated marriage records in "Book B" referred to.  Since the early marriages in any newly settled country always remaina matter of interest to succeeding generations, and because the record is given we give the following as found in the index of the missing "Book A."  In a few cases we have secured marriage dates and those are added.  The list is here given in the order found in the index:
