These are records of marriages performed by an itinerant Baptist minister.  Most of the mar­riages recorded took place at Newburg in Phelps County, Missouri, and involved residents of Phelps, Pulaski, and Dent counties.

 

Joseph Brown’s records of marriages were kept more or less chronologically, but the order was not consistent.  They include the names and residences of the bride and groom, the location of the wedding, and the names of the witnesses present.  The date of the wedding was not always noted, but every record includes the date on which the marriage license was issued.  A name in­dex has been prepared for this collection.
