I had family that lived in and around Columbus, Ky. that were married in
Mississippi Co.,MO.
I also had family that lived in Graves Co., that were married in SOUTH
Fulton, which made them married in Obion Co.,TN.
So those would be prime areas to check.
I still have a marriage I can not find!! According to an obituary, Charles
Halterman and Nancy Standfield, living in Hickman Co.,KY. were married 13
March 1900. These were my Grandparents.
I have written every surrounding county I can see to try to find it but all
say they do not have it.
