During a visit to the KYOWVA Historical Society’s library, I came across an interesting bit of information while researching their Fayette County records for the Seletyn branch of my tree. I had not realized that the Fayette County Courthouse was closed for four years due to the Civil War. I found three pages chronicling the fact that there were no marriage records for that time.
For a little more WV Civil War history that happened in Fayette County, the archives housed at the Capitol in Charleston has a wealth of information both in person and online. One of those links can be found: HERE.
On my next trip to the Capitol I hope to research this a little further.
Thoughts and Ponderances 
Virginia P Hamilton (the bride) was my Great Great Grandfather’s (James Brown Hamilton) sister. He died in a Confederate Prison in 1864. He was a Virginia Military Institute graduate, but loyal to the Union. This did not sit well with other VMI graduates.

Elizabeth P Hamilton was the sister of my Great Great Grandfather, James Brown Hamilton. Born in 1830, he died in a Confederate prison in NC in 1864. From what I can tell, he was imprisoned for being a Union sympathizer and a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington, VA. Didn’t sit well with other VMI graduates in the Confederate army.
