I am desperately looking for marriage information of Claiborne Sherrod, b. 27 Jul 1847 and Mary Eliza Hodges, b. 22 Feb 1851. I have a date of marriage as 22 Feb 1883, but no documents to back it up. Claiborne was born in Knoxville, Mary in either Knox Co., or Jefferson Co., TN.
They both lived in Knoxville for many years. He taught school in addition to buying and selling real estate. Claiborne died in 1901 at Knoxville of Scarlet fever. Mary, years later, moved to Arkansas to live with her son, my grandfather. At this point, the location of marriage is the mystery. I'm not certain now that they were married in Knox County.

I have checked what marriage records I have available for Knox county, but no mention of this
couple.
