The following is a list of marriages transcribed from the original Marriage Book in the Idaho County Courthouse.  This book dates from 1862 - 1878. They are listed in the order they were in the book, they are not in alphabetical order. As you can see, they start out when it was Washington Territory and then it becomes Idaho Territory. They include marriages from Florence, Salmon City, Slate Creek, Mt. Idaho and Leesburg.  One Chinese marriage is also listed.
