Montgomery County (Va.) Marriage Certificates and Minute Book, 1811-1854, 1866-1870

Montgomery County (Va.) Marriage Certificates, 1811-1854, contain a listing of nineteenth century certificates from individual ministers within the county. As part of the return process, ministers filed marriage certificates with the county clerk. These signed documents certified that a minister had performed the actual marriage ceremony between the named individuals on a certain date. These certificates, sometimes in the form of lists, note the names of both parties and their date of marriage. The surnames of the groom and bride were abstracted from the certificates and are used to provide quick reference to the individual certificates. Only volume, 1811-1841, was microfilmed. The second volume, 1841-1854, was originally titled "Minister Returns, 1841-1853 and Order Book, 1866-1870."

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
