Today I purchased QUAKER MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES Pasqotank, Perquimans, Piney Woods, and Suttons Creek Monthly Meeting, North Carolina, 1677-1800 Compiled by Gwen Boyer Bjorkman. Published by Heritage Books, Inc. The wonderful thing about this book is not only the original spelling of the certificates, but that the names of the signers of the certificate are also there. The major families seem to be ALBERTSON, MORRIS, NEWBY, NIXON, SYMONS, TRUEBLOOD, & WHITE. although there are hundreds of families listed. I also found this interesting paragraph in the introduction by Raymond A Winslow, Jr. Not all the subscribing witnesses were North Carolinians (many Virginians may be noted), nor were they all Quakers. The name of Paul Palmer, the first Baptist minister in North Carolina, appears in Perquimans along with government officials (and Anglicans) Thomas Harvey, Henry Clayton, and Richard Everard. (It can not be determined whether the last was Governor Everard or his son.) Attendance by such public figures may have been merely a neighborly act, but their presence may have imparted a sanction to Quaker marriages which were (until 1778) often regarded as irregular if not illicit. Curiously, North Carolina's earliest marriage statute--ratified in 1670--seemed to prefigure Quaker marriage customs when it allowed couples to repair to the governor or a councillor "before his declareing that they do joyne together in the holy state of Wedlock And Doe accept one the other for man and wife" in the presence of three or four neighbors. Anyway if anybody needs look ups for colonial North Carolina in these MMs please let me know. Forrest G.

Going through my mail I failed to change my address to get the information I asked for. old e-mail glenroseb@earthlink.net New address is glenrose01@charter.net If it is possible to still find the marriage certificate of Thomas Newby and Sarah Shropshire, in N>C< I would appreciate it.Thanking you in advance I am Jane Newby married Joseph Samuel Englerth in Indiana. Glenrose Batchelder Englerth.

I am still trying to find the marriage of Joseph Hinds and Mrs. Susannah McConnell sometime before March, 1770, but am also interested in any marriage of a Hinds or Hines of either sex that occurred prior to 1775 in Colonial North Carolina. In addition, if any marriages between a man named McConnell (or similar spelling) and a woman named Susannah could be found, the location would tell me where Joseph probably lived before he moved to what is not Randolph County. I would very much appreciate a look-up of these names if you have the time. Thank you, Barbara

Hi Forrest. I figured I would jump on the band wagon with your wonderful offer. I am looking for a marriage between William Carter and wife Jane, some think Elliot, some think Johns, could be a Mary Jane, between 1775 and 1799. Also, any marriage record of a Thomas Northam either to Lucy Noblin, Lucy Haynes, Hannah Swiggett, Elizabeth "unknown" between 1799 and 1815. Thanks in advance for you time. I can't help but notice how much you contribute to this site, and just wanted to say how much it is appreciated.

I'd be very interested in finding out which Overmans, Newby, Willson, or even Hobbs are available for lookup. I'm connected to John Overman and Elizabeth Newby m. 1788; Also Rebecca Newby and Jacob Overman in 1699 and more too I'm sure. Thanks for the offer of a look-up, I know we all appreciate the chance you're offering us!

Forrest, thanks for your kind offer. Would you check and see if you have a Hoggard, Hoggett, Hoggatt, Hocket (various spellings) family in your book? Also is there a family by the name of Buntin, Bunton, Bunting (various spellings? Thank you so much!

Hi Forrest What a wonderful offer of look-ups. I am trying to find information about the marriage of Isaac COOPER who married a Prudence UNKNOWN probably/possibly in NC circa 1760. They later moved down into GA where they founded the Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting, Columbia Co. (now McDuffie Co.)GA. Isaac was issued a grant for the land on June 7, 1774. Would you please give it a look and see if they are listed? Thanks much.
