Naturalizations before 1900 were often granted by local courts, and therefore those court would have those records. The same would be true for early marriages. On the other hand, Lehigh County may have still been part of Northampton County at that time (1781/1796). You may want to try the Northampton County Courthouse in Easton. I can't recall offhand when Lehigh became its own county. Anyone? Happy Hunting, Earl Kinsley
