Hello Economy Water Wells, VEE 678 apparently indicates a marriage license from the Fourth Justice of the Peace. See: http://nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/neh/nehva.htm#va6 In addition to the link Judy sent, see also: http://nutrias.org/guides/genguide/marriagerecords.htm A license from a JP did not necessarily mean that he married the couple. Many (and perhaps most) licenses were issued to clergymen. Have you checked (or had the NOPL check for you) the JP marriage license index? Where did you get the VEE 678 number from? The license will give the name of the JP. I too have never seen a list of the JPs. This system was in place for 34 years, and there were as many as eight JP districts, so a list has probably never been made.
