Sorry folks. I sent the following in a previous message, but never checked the listing for the Groom's name (in this case, Francis Groome). Names of persons for whom marriage licenses were issued by the secretary of the province of New York, previous to 1784 Author New York (State) Publisher-Weed, Parsons and company, 1860 pg. 91 1769 Oct 14 Crashun [Cresson??] Rachel and Francis Groome M.B. xv 55 On page 161, the entry reads: 1769 Oct 17. Groome, Francis and Rachel Crashum M.B. xv 55 So, there appears to be a choice, or at least an error [same marriage bond]. Regards, Pam Sears
