Good Morning, It has been several years since I have researched Philadelphia records; can someone tell me if there were county records for marriage bonds, licenses, etc. for the period 1770-1800? I have the church records with dates but was hoping to find a bond that might give a clue to parents. What records are available for the 1700s? Does anyone on this list have access to the book "Philadelphia Naturalization Records" by P. William Filby? I would greatly appreciate a lookup for George McClasky pre 1800. Thank you for your help. Stephanie in Oregon

Marriage records for those early dates are church records. Try the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
