This excellent volume is a compilation of marriages of both black and white citizens of Hickman Co. TN through 1894. Because of a courthouse fire in 1864, the marriage books began with 1868 and went through 1894. The records prior to 1868 were gathered from many sources: loose papers in the courthouse vault, family Bibles, obituaries, census records, and two earlier publications: Court Records of Hickman County, Tennessee, 1833-1856<\/em> and Marriages of Hickman County, Tennessee<\/em> by Leeper. This is a well-researched and helpful listing of early marriages that cannot be found in official records along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
