Source: EARLY CONNECTICUT MARRIAGES as Found on Ancient Church Records Prior to 1800; Third Book; Edited by: Frederic W. Bailey; Published by the Bureau of American Ancestry, New Haven, Conn.


Please remember that this is "third hand" information: from the church records, then through Mr. Bailey, and through myself. Although I have proof-read my entry information to my original source, it is very noticeable that there are spelling discrepencies and/or spelling questions within the original publication and quite a bit of missing script (unreadable perhaps) and unknown dates. However, these clues, when combined with other clues from other sources, might enable you to fill in the blanks of your ancestor's marriage record. Good luck in your search.
