Burke County, Georgia Marriage Announcements During the days of slavery, Rev. James Kelsey, a colored Baptist minister, took unto himself a wife, and was married according to the form then in vogue; latterly the Rev. Edward Crumley, another colored Baptist minister, has been insisting that the Rev. James was not legally married and that a license must be procured and ceremony performed over again. To silence his tormentor, Kelsey procured a license and was married by Rev. F.A. Branch on Monday night. - Waynesboro Expositor [The Daily Constitution, Atlanta Georgia Oct. 21, 1876 - Submitted by Shauna Williams] Married in Georgia - Thomas Curtis to Miss Susie Russell, of Marietta.
