Greenbrier County Records, West Virginia, Volume 4: Marriages

GREENBRIER COUNTY RECORDS, Volume 4: Marriages of Greenbrier County, [W.] Virginia, 1782-1900 transcribed by Larry Shuck

3 volumes, 1991, xii, 997 pages. This volume is a thorough and comprehensive listing and abstracting of data from the marriage records of this most important early West Virginia county. Up to 1863, the marriages are part of Virginia's records, and after that date they fall within the purview of West Virginia public record. A full and complete index of all names is provided in volume 3 of the set; volume one includes a surname frequency and the complete abstracts sorted alphabetical by husband's name; volume 2 uses the bride's maiden name as the sort key. In this way, many family relationships can easily be seen which would not be visible while scattered throughout the data. This is a most important work for this early county's records.
