Would some kind soul PLEASE do a lookup at the county court house, for a marriage record? My husband's parents were always assumed to have been married in Lauderdale Co., TN, but last September, I made a trip down there to do some research, and found that they had not been married in Lauderdale Co. I then went to all the bordering counties; ie, Tipton, Dyer, Haywood, Crockett and was also not able to locate a marriage license/bond for them. The court clerks in both Haywood and Crockett counties, told me to try Alcorn Co., MS, as that was a very popular place 'to run off to' back then. At the time, I thought this upsurd, but the more I though about it, the more I can see why they would run off. His father was nine years younger than his mother; his mother was college educated vs an eight grade education for his father; his mother was from a 'comfortable ' family vs his father being a dirt poor farmer. (Love was bind even then). His mother died when he was only 3 years old (1940), and his father died in 1970. All aunts/uncles are also deceased, as are grandparents. No one to help us. His sister has her mother's wedding band, and engraved inside of it is the date 7/3/33 (July 3, 1933), and we are assuming that this at least was their marriage date. (The first child was born 8 months 29 days after that date. Everyone knows that first babies are always premies.) :-) I gave up years ago, keeping skeletons in closets, they do no good to anyone. The truth shall set you free!!! The couple was: William Raymond HATHCOCK & Lillian Gertrude TALLEY I would love to have a copy of the license/bond if you are lucky enough to locate it for me, and I will gladly pay the cost involved. Once again, the couple was: William Raymond HATHCOCK & Lillian Gertrude TALLEY |

Looking for information on the Coke family of Alcorn and Tippah County. Lived in Glen and Brush Creek, Ripley. Henry Thomas Coke(b1872 d1946)was my great grandfather. He married Sarah Adeline Crum. His son Will Ed (b1896 d1984) was my grand father. He was married twice, first to Blanche Macanally who's last name spelling and lineage I'm not sure of. They had 3 daughters, Irene, Ernestine and Mattie. Will Ed then married Bessie Mincy of Kossuth, daughter of Marcus William Mincy and Josie Mills. Any information about the Coke's, Macanally or Mincy line would be helpful. I also know that my Great Great Grand father R.F. Coke was married in Tippah County to Melinda Ann Burrow, daughter of William Louis Burrow. R.F. had fought in the war as part of the Arkansas Infantry that fought in the Corinth area and returned there after the war. I think there may already have been Coke's there at that time. |
