Monroe countywas formed from the Mississippi Territory in 1815 and at that time it had one of the largest populations and land masses of any county in the state. This remained true until Conecuh, Wilcox, and Clarke counties were formed from it. In 1835, there was a courthouse fire that destroyed all of Monroe county's records except the Orphan Court Minutes. There are about 4,000 marriages and approximately 13,000 names of individuals including bondsman & minister.Lucy Wiggins Colson is the author of 'Monroe and Conecuh County, Alabama Marriages: 1833-1880' with ISBN 9780893083359 and ISBN 0893083356.
