Linda - just another note about the Federal Court house - my relatives came to Az in 1881 and some were married by a Justice of the Peace and some by the Catholic Priest, Father Gerard, who made his rounds.None of them were married under any Federal laws - they were married by the laws of Az. Terri. according to all the records I have - so whether you were in Az or NM - there were territorial officals such as judges, JP, ministers and priests that could handle the marriage ceremony.then it was recorded by the County Clerk of the Courts.Janice
