Marriage Notes for SETH CALLAHAN and ELIZABETH HADAWAY:
Marriage Book "A" was the first marriage book of Clayton County after its
formation in 1858. The book covers the period 1958-1870 CPart). In a few instances, the
original application for license has survived showing the parent's names and the date
and place of birth of the betrothed. Check with the county for these applications.
Page - 41
Groom - Callaham S. M.
Bride - Hadoway F. J.
Marriage Date - 18 Nov 1860
I believe that the F. J. Hadoway should be E. J. Hadaway. On the 1870 census she is listed
as Elizabeth J..
