My research has revealed that my great grandfather Alfred Sampson COTHAM and my great
grandmother Ruth Paralee ROBERTS were married in Wayne County on June 26, 1873. I was
curious whether anyone knows of any marriage records or other records from that time
period that might contain additional information. Thank you.
