Early Mobile, Alabama Records including the Early Marriages, 1813-1821

The titles in Mobile outside of the old Spanish town rest on grants mainly Spanish, not a score in number.  At the extreme north we have Farmer's Island and Laurent plantation.  The present city is bounded north by One Mile Creek, or Bayou Marmotte.  Most of the cotton warehouses of the modern city are in what is called the Orange Grove Tract, and thus no name is more familiar, although the exact site of the orangery and the name of the man who planted it have passed into oblivion.  The more common name in earlier times was Poplar Grove.  

Thomas Price we know already as Indian interpreter at Mobile, and, on account of valuable services in that capacity during the time of apprehended trouble with the United States, he obtained two grants of land adjoining the town on the west.  

This book includes marriages since the American Capture beginning in 1813 through 1921 and list the date of marriage, name of man, name of woman and the person officiating.
