This index includes about 439,000 people who got married in Tennessee between 1851 and 1900. The records come from selected counties across the state.
Tennessee was a popular place for settlers in the 1800s. Many came from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. A large number of Scotch-Irish families traveled through the Shenandoah Valley to settle there. Because of this, Tennessee marriage records are useful for tracing early Southern roots.
Each record usually lists the bride and groom’s names, the date of the marriage, and the county where it happened. This makes the index a great first step in family research.
Once you find a name, use it to search for more. Look for church records, court documents, or newspaper announcements to gather more details.
If your family has ties to Tennessee in the 1800s, this index can help you learn more about their journey and connections.
