Marriages

The following marriages have been abstracted from handwritten record books in Refugio County.  If I was not sure of the spelling of a name I put a question mark after it.  In some cases I placed a more conventional spelling of a name in brackets for the convenience of a site search. Below each entry are notes pertaining to that marriage.  If you have questions and/or corrections, please contact me.

Please note that the first marriage dates in Marriage Book C are earlier than the marriage dates in Books A and B.  However, the filing dates are in chronological order.
