I remembered something else that was an exception to this rule. There were schools for the Deaf and the Blind - they had an exception to this rule, they were allowed to marry each other because it was harder to recruit the teachers for these schools even all the way back to 1830s. If you look at the census in 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, there were many of them. David Samuelsen W.
