Early Blount County Marriages (1820 - 1892)


Background: Not long after Blount County became organized in 1818, area marriages began to be recorded by the newly formed governing authority in Blountsville. Blount County is fortunate because, unlike some county courthouses across the state, Blountsville and later Oneonta never experienced a catastrophic fire which burned most of their records. While the Blount County courthouse has never had a fire, some of the marriage records are missing. One of the marriage books was "borrowed" from the court house and never returned. This book covered the time period between 1845 and 1852. From most accounts the book was taken sometime during the 1930s. The whereabouts of that book remains one of Blount County's great genealogical mysteries.

Other researchers should be mentioned by way of thanks in making this information available. They include Blount County Historian and Records Clerk Warren Weaver, as well as Lottie Painter Hudson and Carolina Nigg for their countless hours work in reviewing and compiling the original data from the marriage books.

The researcher should keep in mind in many cases the names are spelled phonetically. Be sure and check all possible spelling variations to locate your ancestor.

The arrangement convention adopted here is a name followed by a semicolon, another name and semicolon, and then the date the two were married. The date given is usually the date the marriage occurred. Most of the time, marriage bonds and licenses were obtained and dated a few days before the actual marriage was solemnized. It was the responsibility of person performing the ceremony to report to the Probate Judge's office the date the ceremony occurred. In a few cases, when for one reason or another the date of the marriage ceremony was not recorded, the date offered here is the date the bond was signed, or the date the license was obtained from the Probate Judge's office. Each name occurs twice in the index; the groom is listed first in one, and another entry is offered with the bride's name listed first. That way the index can be used to locate either grooms or their brides.

Other genealogical information, not recorded here, can be obtained from looking at the actual document. The earliest Blount County marriage licenses were actually marriage bonds entered into by the groom and co-signed by another person. Often, the groom signed the marriage bond with a good friend, such as today's equivalent of a "best man," or else a relative such as his father, his brother, his brother-in-law, or even his future father-in-law. Additionally, some marriage ceremonies were performed by a Justice of the Peace (JP) or a Minister of the Gospel (MG) who also just happened to be a close family member. The researcher can use this list to prepare and save time on his next personal visit to the courthouse to review those particulars. Because of possibility of mistakes in the long journey this data made from original marriage book to digital form, the actual document should be considered the ultimate authority. Use this index as a reference. (Book and page number from the original marriage books are not presented here).

For a fee, the court house archives can print a copy of the marriage bond or license from their records. I'm not sure what the going rate is for copies, but you can write the court house at:

Hi, My name is Norma Miller. I have been researching my husband's Nix family line for several years. This is what I have to date:

Jennings Nix b.1803 GA, d.2/24/1885 Blount Co, AL. He married 1st Lucinda "Letty" Alexander (3 ch: Tyre, Daniel & Thomas Alexander). He married 2nd Temperance Pool Ellison, widow of John R. Ellison, in Blount Co, AL. They have 3 ch:

 James Harrison Nix 4/18/1857-6/10/1924
 John D. Kelley Nix 6/6/1860-8/2/1934
 Miles Jennings Nix 1863-10/22/1922
   James Harrison Nix married Jane Adeline Stephens 1/22/1880 in Blount Co,

AL

     Lillian Gertrude
       Emma Rebecca Nix married Stephen B. Miller 2/8/1904 in Marshall Co,

         William Clifford
         Bertha Mae
         Jewel Evergreen

         Dona Sewilla
           James Clayton Miller married Oma Hayes 5/17/1931 in Marshall Co,

             James Joseph (my husband)
             Jerry Wayne
             Gay Nell
                James Joseph Miller married Norma McLemore 6/20/1959 in

Athens, AL

                  Traci Lynne Miller md Roy Anthony Brooks 6/16/1984

Huntsville, AL

                     Joseph Anthony Brooks
                     Kristy Lynne Brooks

Have not been able to determine parents of either Jennings Nix or Temperance Pool Ellison Nix. Believe that Daniel and Margaret Nix might be parents of Jennings Nix. I'm still working on this family and would be glad to have some help.
