Benton County Marriages

_____________________________________________________

Information on Benton County:

When Minnesota's original nine counties were established in 1849 only three, Benton, Washington, and Ramsey, officially opened to settlers.  They lay in a triangle of land between the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers that reached north beyond Lake Mille Lacs, land ceded by the Dakota and Ojibwe Indians twelve years earlier.  Fur trading and lumbering first drew settlers to Benton County, largely from Eastern states and Canada.  The first census of the county in 1850 counted 418.

This project will endeavor to provide actual transcriptions of Marriage Applications, and other Marriage Records, as found recorded in the county court house and state archives. We are encouraging these transcriptions to be entire marriage books and/or rolls of microfilm.

Transcripts will be accepted and files will be placed in the USGenWeb Archives directory of the State and County, where the marriage records were originally recorded.
