The following are Butler Co., AL marriages dating from 1853 to 1930. This list is primarily made up of Burkett, Lee, Beasley and Pierce marriages as these are my lines from Butler Co. Hopefully, information will be gleamed from this for descendants of other lines that were married to my relatives. I tried to transcribe as shown in license. where I knew names, etc, I placed in parenthesis.  Contributor Tony Powell, AUG 1998.
