Hoes, Roswell Randall. The Kingston Reformed Dutch Church was the central repository for all records of marriages and baptism conducted by circuit-rider Domines throughout Ulster and Orange counties of NY; Sussex County, NJ, and parts of Pike County, PA, until local churches were built and staffed. This occurred between 1735 and 1745 depending on the area.

• License Records: [Province of New York - Marriage Licenses]. Names of persons for whom Marriage Licenses were issued by the Secretary of the Province of New York, previous to 1784. For consistency, these are arranged in date order in the format of: Date; Husband; Wife. This is NOT an exact, accurate copy, but rather a distillation of the pertinent information set in (what I believe to be) a more useful format. This shows the date the License was issued, NOT the date of marriage. There are some obvious errors that appear in the publication.
