Russell Co., KY Marriages, 1826-1865 - Yates-York
Compilation copyright 1985 Gary L. Flanagan
Web version copyright 1999 Gary L. Flanagan

I originally compiled this data during 1984-1985 from the original documents 
in the Russell Co., KY Courthouse. The contents were transcribed onto index 
cards, which were transcribed into typewritten form in 1985. The Web version 
consists of files scanned from the typed document. While I am proofreading 
this material and comparing it to the typed version as I make it available 
on the Web, it is subject to error at the time of transcription, typing, and 
scanning. I apologize for any errors in transcription and will correct any 
if proper documentation is provided (i.e., photocopies of the records); I 
will also be glad to consider adding pertinent notes.

The format is as follows:

Groom's name, bride's name. Date. Person performing the marriage. Date of 
bond, surety. Witnesses. Other information (parentage, notes, etc.) Book-
page.

For example:

Brown, Berryman (Benjamin) G. to Sarah E. Downey. December 20, 1855. Married 
by Wm. W. Bernard, M.G., at John Downey, Sr.'s. Bond: Dec. 19, 1855, James 
S. Bernard and Sherrod W. Downey as sureties. Witnesses: Sherrod Downey, 
Dick Wilson, John Downey, Sr. 2-95,96.

The groom in this example is Berryman G. Brown. The bride is Sarah E. 
Downey. The marriage was on Dec. 20, 1855. The marriage was performed by Wm. 
W. Bernard at John Downey's. The bond was date Dec. 19, 1855 with James S. 
Bernard and Sherrod W. Downey as the sureties. The witnesses were Sherrod 
Downey, Dick Wilson, and John Downey, Sr. The documents are in Book 2, pages 
95-96 in the Russell County Courthouse. 

I hope that this information is useful to others undertaking genealogical 
research.
