During the year 1839, there were twenty-six marriages authorized; during 1840, there were forty ; in 1841, there were thirty-nine; in 1842, there were thirty-seven ; in 1843, there were forty-four; during 1844, there were fifty- seven ; during 1845, there were fifty ; during 1846, there were sixty ; in 1847, prior to the organization of the State government, there were twelve licenses- granted.
Thus it will be seen that there were 405 licenses issued from the year 1836 to the institution of the State. This list does not include those parties who lived in Henry County, but were married out of its limits, in which case the license was obtained in the county wherein the ceremony was performed, but shows merely a list of the licenses granted in Henry County alone.

HENRY COUNTY .OFFICIAL ROSTER.
There is no election register in existence in this county which shows the list of officers prior to 1851, but we have made from the first Commissioners' minutes, the volumes of records in the Recorder's office, the Court Records and from other sources, the following roster from the year 1837, when the county was organized, to the beginning of the written evidence. After 1850, the list is full. Commencing with the business officers, rather than with those who have held places of high distinction, we take the original Commissioners. The system under which the county was organized, resembled that now in vogue. Three men composed the Board of Supervisors up to the year 1851, and were denominated
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
1837-Robert Caulk, Samuel Brazelton, George J. Sharp (part term), Cla- born Jones (part term).

The system of three Commissioners was followed by the Judge system. The last meeting of the Board was held July 28, 1851. On August 11, the same year, the first term of the County Court was held, R. Boers acting as Judge, pro tem. M. L. Edwards, Judge de facto, took his seat on August 21, 1851. He served until August 11, 1855, when he was succeeded by E. Killpatrick, who remained in office till January, 1860. On the 4th of Febru- ary, that year, W. I. Warwick took his seat, and January 5, 1861, vacated it for the Board of Supervisors, which system again came into vogue.

Court, the first time in March, 1855. He served until 1861, under the Judge system, and then continued to serve as Clerk under the Supervisors until 1866, when T. A. Bereman went in and remained until 1868, when the office of Auditor was created.
It must be remembered that the County Court was in no sense a judicial tribunal, but purely a business office. In rare cases only was the County Judge taken from the legal profession, and then merely by chance.
THE DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.
The first Judge of the District Court of Henry County, proper, was David Irvin. He came in 1837. The roster is thus :
1837, Judge Irvin ; 1838, T. S. Wilson; 1839 to 1847, Charles Mason ; 1847 to 1852, George H. Williams ; 1852 to 1857, Ralph P. Lowe; 1857, John W. Rankin (to fill vacancy) ; 1857 to 1859, Thomas W. Clagett; 1859 to. 1869, Francis Springer ; 1869 to 1873, Joshua Tracy (resigned); 1873, T. W. Newman (appointed to fill vacancy, and afterward elected, and served until 1878) ; 1878, A. H. Stutsman.
THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.
In 1868, the office of Circuit Court Judge was established. John B. Drayer was elected, and served four years. In 1872, he was re-elected, and held until 1876, and was again re-elected, and is now holding his third term.
CLERKS OF THE COURTS.
In 1837, J. D. Payne was elected Clerk of the District Court. The record would therefore be :
1837, J. D. Payne ; 1838, E. Killpatrick ; 1842, E. Killpatrick ; 1847, A. B. Porter ; 1852 to 1866, John P. Grantham ; 1866, T. A. Bereman ; 1868, T. A. Bereman. In 1870, the office of District Court Clerk was coupled with that of the Circuit Court Clerk. J. N. Allen was then elected Clerk, and is still filling that office.
PROSECUTORS.
1851, Reuben Beers; 1854 to 1864, A. H. Bereman; 1864, Joshua Tracy; 1868, Joshua Tracy ; 1869, George B. Corkhill (appointed to fill vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Judge Tracy to the District Court Judge- ship) ; 1870, D. N. Sprague ; 1874, D. N. Sprague ; 1878, T. A. Bere- man.
Prior to 1851, an accurate list cannot be obtained. The office is now a Dis- trict one, being under the jurisdiction of the District or Criminal Court.
SHERIFFS.
The name of Andrew Kennedy, in 1838, is the first on the records, and he was probably the first Sheriff who served. Then came Samuel Smith, in the years 1839, 1841 and 1842. A blank then occurs, as in so many other instan- ces, until-
1851, Samuel Smith ; 1853, Henry Swan ; 1855, Alvin Chatterton ; 1857, C. F. Devol ; 1861, W. T. Spearman ; 1865, W. A. Simons ; 1866; Robert Baxter (to fill vacancy) ; 1867, W. T. Spearman (to fill term year) ; 1869, W. T. Spearman ; 1871, W. T. Spearman ; 1873, W. T. Spearman ; 1875, W. T. Spearman ; 1877, J. R. Davidson.

During the existence of the first two systems, Commissioners and County Judge, the business now performed by the Auditor was included in the duties of those officers. In 1868, the office of County Auditor was created. The first incumbent was John P. Grantham. 1870 to 1874, O. H. Snyder ; 1874 to 1876, Robert Baxter ; 1876 to date, R. M. Lehew.
JUDGE OF PROBATE.
From 1838 to 1851, the office of Probate Judge existed. It was filled by the following Judges : Samuel Nelson, beginning September, 1838 (the first Judge) and ending July, 1839; E. Killpatrick, until 1843; Archibald Mc- Kinney, until June, 1851.
In 1851, the probate business of the county was attended to by the County Judge, who continued as Probate Judge, after the abolishment of the judge sys- tem, until 1868, when the Circuit Court took control of the probate business, and still includes it in its jurisdiction. J. B. Drayer was the last County Judge and ex officio Probate Judge.
ASSESSORS.
The first Assessor for the county was Samuel Peter, in whose place S. B. Hughes was appointed in 1839, on account of Peter's resignation. In 1841, H. M. Snyder was Assessor. There is no record after that until 1851, when W. T. Spearman came in, and the office was soon abandoned, the work being done by Township Assessors.

408
HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.

NOTARIES AND JUSTICES.
As a matter of reference, the following list of Notaries Public and Justices of the Peace has been compiled. It is impossible to obtain, from the Township Clerks, a fuller list, as the records are not preserved prior to the dates shown herein. From 1862, the Notaries are complete ; and from 1852, the Justices are correct. This was prepared, as can be seen, at considerable labor, and will doubtless be appreciated by those who have frequently to confirm acknowledg- ments to deeds and other legal papers :
