This volume lists about 17,000 husbands, many of whom married more than once. Some of the couples listed in this volume were wed before they came to Virginia/West Virginia or after removing to another state or territory. Entries are arranged alphabetically according to the name of the groom. When available the date and place of marriage is given; if unknown, the compiler has listed approximate dates and likely places of marriage. The guesstimates of dates and places not known for sure at least give the researcher a time and place in which to start searching. For each record a source is given; the sources are a combination of original and previously published material.
