Index to Black Marriages Hampshire Co. WV 1868-1874 A few Hampshire County marriage bonds exist for the 1824-28 time period, but they do not show the race. The 1850 vital records law resulted in a number of birth, death, and marriage entries in Hampshire county records. Unfortunately, the ravages of time, war, flood, drought, pestilence, and insect are such that these are virtually illegible. Vital records essentially begin in the county in 1860. Unfortunately, the marriage records do not have a slot for RACE. For a brief period after the War, the county clerk did keep separate records. After that, all marriages are again apparently intermingled and undifferenced. The following is, as best as I can tell, a complete index to the names identified as "colored", either in the record itself or in an index identified as "colored persons". Note: In the age column a w means marital status was given was widowed. An * after a given name means I could NOT tell for certain whether this specific item referred to a black couple.
