About Dickson County, Tennessee, U.S., Marriages, 1850-1870

Situated a short twenty-five miles west of Nashville, Dickson County, Tennessee was created in 1803 and boasted a population of nearly 10,000 in 1860. This database is a collection of marriage records from the county between 1850 and 1870. Each entry includes the names of both bride and groom along with their marriage date. In addition, researchers will find the date the marriage license was issued for the couple. It contains the names of over 3000 men and women. Also included is a list of over 200 officiators who performed marriages in the county and the date range they performed these ceremonies. Taken from a larger work by Byron Sistler, this can be a tremendous aid to those seeking ancestors from west-central Tennessee in the middle of the nineteenth century.
