Caroline County, Maryland Marriages, 1774-1815

Located on the Delaware border, Caroline County, Maryland was created in 1773. This database is a collection of marriage licenses from 1774 until 1815. These records have been copied from the office of the Clerk of the Court of the county. Researchers may find the names of both the bride and the groom, as well as the date of marriage. This data will be helpful for researchers with colonial Maryland ancestry.

No attempt has been made to correct the spelling of any of the names, some of which are almost undecipherable on the records. The year 1776 is missing. From 1774 to 1804 the license fee was one pound, and subsequently four dollars.
