African-American Marriage Licenses, Garrett County
The following information is from a posting written by Gene Miller, a staff member of the Takoma Park, Maryland Library.
"The African-American community in southern Garrett County from about 1870 -1930 is not well-documented. It was small, numbering fewer than 200 at its largest, but still large enough to have built its own church building, the Bethel A.M.E. Church at the corner of N.5th and E. High Sts. Many worked at the railroad resorts/hotels for which southern Garrett County was renowned.
