NOTE: There were a few old marriage licenses that are located at the County Court Houses in Corning and in Piggott. These were brought to the Court Houses for recording and for some reason never returned to the couple. If such a license exists, it will be noted next to the names in this database. To get photo copies of these, you must contact the County Court House in Corning.
