Hi Harriett, Some information was just posted on the RI List (US) about people from RI marrying in .. oops.. did they say MD or PA? That reminded me of my mother's claim - that I was "conceived" in NJ - on her weekend Honeymoon at "Atlantic City." :o) It's also a reminder that people married in many places which were not directly related to where they lived. They could have been on vacation, or on a business trip, and "made the decision." My paternal grandparents were 18 and 17 and living near Boston, MA. On the week of his 18th birthday, they headed to VT, probably taking a train there, and "eloped." I think that was 1916. I know very little about the history of the State of Maryland, but I accidentally found a web site last night. It offered "information" in MD, and it included a picture of the gravestone along with the person's name. Isn't that nice !
