Early Marriages of Owsley Residents

Submitted by Yvonne Dishon

Below we give the dates of several marriage licenses issued many years ago in Owsley county.
These records were destroyed in the fire which burned the court house in Booneville.

The dates below are due to the fact that J. W. F. Williams, who is able to give more
information of Lee county than can be obtained from any other source,
left some of his records in Beattyville which were given to us to publish.
