Original Dr. Samuel Mudd Headstone

Any chance that a marriage certificate would show dates of birth?

Hi Laurie. Charles County has marriage records only back to 1886. Records before that are at the state archives in Annapolis, but the Archives has no Charles County marriage records for the period when Dr. & Mrs. Mudd were married. The only marriage records for that period are held by local churches, and the records at St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s for that time no longer exist. I found my own parents’ 1934 marriage records at St. Peter’s, but they are already in very bad shape.
