Bettie Fleming Downing copied some of those records from loose bonds. She listed these in a book, _Fleming Co. Marriage Bonds_ , which can be found at the Fleming Co., KY Public Library. I copied the bonds marked “loose” from Ms. Downings’ book. I copied all others from the original records in the courthouse.
