Marriage License and Minister's Return of Thomas Thompson & Delilah Davis

Marriage License and Minister's Return of Thomas THOMPSON & Delilah DAVIS

Transcribed from a photocopy of the original, handwritten marriage license, on the back of which is the minister's return, as received from the Christian County Genealogical Society, Hopkinsville, KY. Unfortunately, the yellowed license produced too dark a photocopy to make a good scan. John Clark, the County Clerk, happens, incidentally, to be the bride's uncle.
