Hi listers,
I am forwarding this as sent to my Armstrong list, per request of transcriber. There is a
Richard Campbell listed here as a Justice of the peace. [1832] I hope this can help
someone place their kin.
Happy hunting,
Carolynn

Washington County, Ohio Probate Court Marriage Records, V. 1-3 1803-1865 (Includes
Minister Licenses, 1825-1859; Tavern Licenses & General Court Records, 1790-1820)
Court of Common Pleas.
Note: there is an index for these records, which the author perused first; and
subsequently found many more Armstrong's in the actual records than in the indexes.
FYI: A John Armstrong appears in the pre-1800 general court records; the author did not
transcribe any of his info; there were pages of records pertaining to this John
Armstrong.
Vol. 1 1803-1841
The Volumes are handwritten ledger style; with four columns for the earliest records:
1. Names of Parties
2. Residence
3. When Married
4. By Whom
Beginning in 1824 There are more detailed records, the author only took down the dates
& individuals names involved, as it would have took much to much time to transcribe a
paragraph for each marriage. Additionally, where information is missing, it was either to
difficult for the author to transcribe or it was not there...
