What would be a reason, other than one party being under age, for an Affidavit? If the Sarah SINEX who married Henry CROWL was born 1818 (have full date of birth) and they married in 1842 she would have been 24. The word Affdvt is under her name on the page that I have - BUT if it might pertain to another - and I'm guessing now - a Sarah CAMPBELL who married an Andrew SINEX in 1830/32 and he died prox 1838/39 would this be a reason she might need an affidavit that she is free to marry? We are trying to determine which Sarah did actually marry Henry CROWL and complete that branch of the SINEX lineage. Thank you for any help one might be able to give us.
