>Suzanne P. Derieux and Wesley E. Pippenger announce publication of two
>volumes of marriage records for King and Queen County, Virginia.
>Researchers may be aware that the public records for King and Queen County
>were in most part destroyed by fires in April 1828 and 1864. The earliest
>marriage record at the courthouse is from 1858, only a few are from the war
>years, and the general run there begins in 1866. In contrast, the Auditor
>of Public Accounts copy at the Library of Virginia is more complete and
>begins with one marriage for 1853 and continues from 1854. The compilers
>collected data from six main sources: (1) a modern typewritten index to
>marriages, (2) bound Certificates to Obtain a Marriage License that begin in
>September 1867; (3) a bound register of marriages that begins in 1872 (in
>the Circuit Court Clerk's office); (4) loose register pages from the Auditor
>of Public Accounts (at the Library of Virginia); (5) loose marriage licenses
>that begin in 1858; and (6) records from local area churches. The compilers
>have consulted numerous other sources to insert in brackets information
>missing in the original marriage record. For example, maiden names or names
>of parents that are blank in one marriage and may be present in another, or
>complete names may be inscribed on a cemetery tombstone. These types of
>additions are inserted in brackets in these publications. Also included in
>each volume is a list of abbreviations, list of ministers and their
>denominations and church associations (if known), and a transcription of
>applicable laws affecting marriages or the keeping of marriage records.
