I wanted to share these marriage records from Morgan County with you today.  Quite a bit of information was written down – more than some counties!  It is interesting that they wrote the location of where the marriage took place.  If you look at the map of Morgan County I’ve attached, those names I found are shaded in green.  Lost Creek, Sandy, Wheel Rim and Grassy Creek are small communities in Morgan County, all with their individuals stories of the people who lived/live there.
