Marriage Licenses 1837.
The following marriages and marriage licenses were transcribed to the website from a scrapbook titled MEMORABRABILIA, KOSSUTH HISTORICAL SOCIETY located in the Alcorn County Genealogical Society Library/Research Room in the Alcorn County Courthouse in Corinth, MS. The original source of the information is “History of Old Tishomingo County Mississippi Territory, Edited and Compiled by Fan Alexander Cochran, published 1968, pages 37, 47-50.”
No marriages were solemnized in Tishomingo County during the year 1836. However, it is reasonable to suppose that a few couples, at least, made the trip to adjoining counties for the purpose of being made one.

(blacked out word) on condition that there is no lawful cause to obstruct the marriage between John P. Azbell and Jane Phillips.
