Marriage Records

Jackson County marriage records are available beginning in 1870.

In addition, you may obtain a book containing these records that were transcribed by Betty M. Scott and Shelta McCarter Shrum. The title is Jackson County , Tennessee Marriage and Death Records. Order from Ridge Runner Publications, 5700 Hwy. 52 W, Lafayette, TN 37083-3268 or check your local library.

You may obtain from the Tennessee State Library and Archives microfilmed copies of the records to 1944 providing names of parties, date, names of bondsmen and/or witnesses, person solemnizing marriage. They will search 5 years if supply the names of the bride and groom, the county and a 5 year date span..

Records since 1945 will need to be obtained from the Tennessee Department of Vital Records.

There are 3 types of marriage records: applications for marriage licenses, marriage bonds, and marriage license.

The only indication that a marriage has really taken place is the marriage license itself since the first two listed are done prior to an actual wedding. The application and the bond usually contain more information than the license, especially in later years.

Other places to look for marriage records or names of spouses are in newspapers, wills or settlements, Bible records, and in some instances court cases which state a spouses name. We are fortunate to have an index of some marriage records listed below. For information on Banns, Marriage Bonds, & Licenses & Bastardy Bonds click here.
