The earliest marriage license issued in Kerr County, Texas, was to James McCracken and Susan Davis who were married
21 Oct 1856.
These marriage records come from the microfilmed record found at the Kerr
Regional History Center adjacent to the Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library in Kerrville. The microfilming was done by the Genealogical
Society of Salt
Lake City, Utah, in 1977. The Marriage Records date from 21
Oct 1856 thru 22 Dec 1923 on this roll.
This website contains records which were
copied from the original Kerr County Marriage Records as they
appear on the
microfilm. The marriage date given is that of the marriage
ceremony, not the date the license
was issued (unless otherwise
noted). Marriage records dated 1856 - 1877 are found in Volume A,
thosedated 1878 - 1902 are in Volume B and those dated 1902 - 1923 are in
Volume 3 of the Kerr County
Marriage Records as found on this reel of microfilm. The
person who performed the marriage ceremony is
shown under "Officiated
By".
*A few marriages from the late '20's and early '30's are included and
these are from
private records.
