MECKLENBURG CO. MARRIAGE RECORDS FOR 1868. Submitted by Linda Blackwelder blckwldr@ls.net The marriages are taken from Microfilm # C.065.62001 from the N. C. State Archives, Raleigh, NC. Brent Holcomb published the book "Marriages of Mecklenburg Co., NC, 1783 0 1868. The following marriages are some that were found on microfilm that were not included in his book. Some of the marriages in 1866 did not identify whether they were black or white and these have been shown first. As marriages are added, there will be separate listings of the white marriages and black marriages. This has been done to help speed your research. These marriages are taken from the actual copy of the original bond or license and has been typed exactly as it was shown. Some were difficult to read, however, all spelling of names are as they appeared on the documents. Abbreviations: Lic or Li - License Bd. - Bond Date following Lic , Bd, etc. - Date it was issued. m. - Married J.P. or JP - Justice of the Peace min - Minister The number in front of the marriage continues through both the black and the white marriages as they appeared by year, month and date. The original plan was to publish a book and therefore, the numbering system was a mean to use from the index, however, it is shown on these listings as they were catalogued when they were typed. There will be blocks of numbers missing when the searcher goes from white marriages to black marriage as the numbers will continue on one or the other listings. 1868 (MARRIAGE LICENCE) BLACK 436.
