Greetings everyone, Several years ago I ordered the marriage record for Joseph Slater, Jr., and Eliza Primrose from the NJ Archives. I received an entire page containing 40 marriages performed by Joseph L. Shafer/Shaver, who is listed as "Pastor, Newton Congregation" (I believe he was a Presbyterian). Anyway, I thought I would list the marriages in case it would help anyone with information about ancestors/kin. Of course these records are hand written, so I am transcribing them the best I can -- no guarantees of exact spelling! I have noted with (?) and other notations where some of the names are doubtful. Here is how I read it: 1825 Oct 25 Mr. John A. Johnson to Miss Lipolia Drake Oct 29 Mr. John Bell to Miss Phebe Hendershot Nov 19 Mr. Jonas Kishpaugh to Miss Rachel Curted (Curtis? her last name is hard to read) Dec 20 Mr. George Hinder to Miss Sophia Main 1826 Jany 21 Mr. Jacob Snook to Miss Sarah Northrop Feby 14 Mr. William Slockbower to Miss Charlotte Young Feby 25 Mr. William Snook to Miss Elizabeth Drake March 14 Mr. William Hart to Miss Sarah Hibler March 16 Mr. George Morrow to Miss Mahele? Young (her first name is hard to read) April 20 Mr. Abraham D. Budd to Miss Margaret Cobb April 29 Mr. James Northrop to Miss Mary Vaughn May 18 Mr. William H. Hazen to Miss Ann Mattison May 20 Mr. John Kishpaugh to Miss Charlotte Simmons Jun 1 Mr. Allen Coursen? to Miss Phebe Key? (both surnames are hard to read) Jun 15 Mr. Joseph Ogden to Mrs. Eb??i Johnson (her first name is hard to read) Sept 23 Mr. Benjamin Kisner to Miss Phebe Ann Canfield Sept 23 Mr. Lewis Hathaway to Miss Sarah Tisdale?
