MARRIAGE:

I have a facsimile copy of a marriage certificate sent to me by Craig Collins for the marriage of Jesse Collins and Sarah Ward February 16, 1851. The county is not indicated. In "Tennessee, Marriage Records, 1780-2002" at ancestry.com there is a marriage of Jesse Collins and Sarah Thomas on February 9, 1851 in Franklin Co., Tennessee. The license was issued February 8, and they were married on February 9 by J. J. Travis, J. P. F Cty. Franklin Co. is close to Bedford Co. The facsimile copy that I have reads as follows:

"This certifies that the rite of Holy Matrimony was celebrated between Jesse Collins (was bornd July the 12 1825) and Sarah Ward (was bornd September the 15 1829) -- they was married the February the 16 1851."
