Marriage License.


The complete marriage license was issued in Macon Co. MO to John J. Jones of Valley Township and Sarah J. Sloan of Valley Township. Indicates he was over 21 and she over 18. Was issued Dec. 2, 1885 by Jno. H. Griffin the recorder. It then states that they were married at residence of J.L.Jones [whom I believe to be the father] by John Miller Justice of the Peace on December 4, 1885. It was recorded on December 15 1885. It was entry #293 in the marriage book. The fragment of the marriage license owned by Enola Ziebol agrees in all visable details (her version was the copy given to couple, the microfilm is of the information kept by the County). Note that the Sarah J. (Sloan) Jones bible indicates a date of Nov. 1885 which disagrees and is probably incorrect since no day is mentioned., Principal=John Jefferson Jones, Principal=Sarah Jane Sloan19,20
