Research Notes
- To make life interesting, two lists were submitted by Rev. Edward Mitchell. The first list was dated 1 Dec 1808 and the second, 7 Jul 1810. I did not figure out how the marriage registers were organized that are available on FamilySearch. I found marriage records for both years but no ministers were listed nor did I see the couple's name. The register may be organized by the person submitting the lists. Have fun!!![7][3][4]I am using the date of 1808 as there were two females under age 10 in the 1810 Census. BJS
