Duplin Divorce
And Marriage
Trends Compared
John A. Johnson, Clerk of
Superior Court, and
Christine W. Williams,
Register of Deeds, have
noted that the trend toward
fewer marriages and more
divorces that is existing
throughout our country has
come to Duplin County.
They note that the number
of marriages in the county
rose steadily from 84 in 1875
to a peak of 352 in 1971, and
that since then the number
has been gradually decreas
ing to 283 in 1978.
A check on the number of
divorces granted in 1875
showed no divorces for that
year. The record shows that
in 1925 there were 12 di
vorces and that the number
per year has steadily in
creased to the 136 granted by
the Duplin Courts in 1978.
