These marriage records have been transcribed from microfilm copies of the only
remaining marriage book of James County Tennessee. Many of the marriage records
were destroyed by one of two fires that struck the James County courthouse
between 1870 and 1912. The microfilm records are
now kept at the the Chattanooga – Hamilton
County Bicentennial Library. The
original book gave the name of the bride and groom, the date the license was
issued, the person who performed the ceremony, and the date the marriage took
place. This transcription contains the names of the bride and groom and the date
the marriage was performed.
The names contained in these records were transcribed as they appeared on the
microfilm copies of the marriage books. No attempt was made to correct names
that were obviously misspelled. At times, the transcription was very difficult
and every attempt was made to transcribe the records correctly, however, mistakes may have occurred. If you notice a mistake please let me know.
