Marriage Bonds, Book A Note: Contains a register of marriages apparently entered when the bond was posted, and in most cases, a return filed by the minister or official who solemnized the marriage. The date in the citation is the date of the registration, which in many cases differs from the dates in the return. Entries are only roughly in date order, suggesting that either the information has been copied from other sources, or the pages have been shuffled from the original order.
