Russell Co., KY Marriages, 1826-1865 - Karns-Knight

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.
