Lincoln County, Tennessee was formed out of Bedford County, in 1809. However at least the first book of marriages must be missing because the only marriages we have, start from 1838. Those first marriages can be viewed with a subscription to ancestry, at this link.
The marriages I annotate below are just the first documented marriages with either bride or groom surnamed WRIGHT.
