 Marriage Bonds / Marriage dates

This list was put together back in 1988 by the late Mary Jane Steinhagen. 
In some cases the surname may have been cut off from the print out. 
As time goes on, I will try to correct this problem by finding out what the maiden name or surname was and update this page.  
Just because there was a marriage bond, doesn't always mean there was a marriage record, they may have called off the wedding for what ever reason, and or the actual marriage record wasn't recorded and or no longer exists. Typically, the marriage date was with in a few days after receiving the marriage bond. 
In some cases, a marriage date was noted along with the marriage bond. 
The primary goal for this listing is so you can order the marriage bond or marriage record yourself, and with having the bond number, county name, and full marriage date, the records should be easily found by any court house.  

Note: The Witness maybe the Clerk or County Clerk in some cases.
