Research Notes

The marriage date varies in different records. The marriage license was issued on February 9, 1833. The most accurate marriage date seems to be in the image of the above citation. The image shows "19th February 1833", but the index says 22 Feb 1833. The image in the following reference seems to be a consolidation of marriage records and a mistake was made in the transcription. The notation is the same (except for the date) as the image in the citation above.
