 At Arkansas there is a database called [http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=7845&enc=1 ''Arkansas Marriages, 1779-1992''].  This is not to be confused with another database they own called ''Arkansas Marriages, 1850-1900''.  Or yet a third database called ''Arkansas Marriages, before 1850''.  In the first database, they have, among other counties, indexed marriages in Franklin County up to 1882.  The description states up to 1976, but this is because some idiot entered an 1876 marriage as 1976 which it clearly isnt'.  It also states that the marriages start in 1811, which is equally ridiculous as the county didn't exist until 1837.  The marriage indexed in 1811 was really from 1881 as verified by Virginia McPhail's book of marriages.  The marriage indexed in 1848 was really from 1868.
-So ignoring those two discrepancies, here are the years this database covers and how many marriages it shows for each year: 1837-1848 Zero; 1849 1; 1850 60; 1851 93; 1852 70; 1853 118; 1854 98; 1855 106; 1856 78; 1857 94; 1858 100; 1859 150; 1860 172; 1861 114; 1862 70; 1863 6; 1864 10; 1865 20; 1866 178; 1867 191; 1868 196; 1869 275; 1870 266; 1871 244; 1872 254; 1873 246; 1874 220; 1875 194; 1876 286; 1877 248; 1878 296; 1879 372; 1880 382; 1881 396; 1882 376; 1883 22; 1884 4

+It seems fairly clear that they used the marriages books going up to the early part of 1883 when a new marriage book was begun, so I suspect that those four indexed in 1884 are probably errors as well.
