William Finch marriage to Lucinda Kenedy
----------------------------------------

This is most likely the marriage record for William Finch and Lucinda Canady. On
page 8, The marriage license says:


   Georgia         } 
                   } To any Judge, Justice of the Inferior Court, Justice
   Campbell County } of the peace, or Minister of the Gospel - You are
   hereby authorized to join William Finch and Lucinda Keneday
   in the Holy state of Matrimony according to the constitution
   and laws of this state and for so doing this shall be your
   sufficient Licence [sic], Given under my hand and seal 2d January 1832
                                          James P.H. Campbell for C. Field
                                              C.C.O [County Clerk's Office?]


This is followed by the record of marriage on page 9 as follows:


   Georgia Campbell County, I certify that Wm Finch 
   and Lucinda Kenedy were duly joined in Matrimony 
   by me this the 8th day of January 1832. Joseph Bradbury
                                                    J.P.


The record is found in Campbell County, Georgia's Marriage Book A, on pages 8 & 9. 

Campbell County was created Dec. 20, 1828 then enlarged after the expulsion of the 
Cherokee Indians (see "Trail of Tears") Re: the Cherokee Land Lottery of 1832.  The 
county has since ceased to exist.  Part was taken in 1870 to become Douglas County. 
The remainder went to Fulton County, Georgia in 1931.  The courthouse still exists 
and is located in Fairborn, Fulton County.  I am uncertain where Probate records are.
