Marriage Records
Courthouse fires in 1851 and 1863 destroyed marriage and circuit court records. Fortunately county clerk records were in a different location and were not damaged.
Some early marriage records have been reconstructed based on wills and other information by at least one author. Ellsberry, Elizabeth Prather, Marriage Records Montgomery County, Kentucky 1817-50, Prather Ellsberry, c1965. This book can be searched on Ancestry.com.
