NOTE: I'm sure the confusion regarding Abijah vs. Archibald marrying Polly Lorton stems from what is written on the outside of this paper, however, the inside clearly states that Abijah is entering the marriage bond and the signature is clear. Also, my mother abstracted some Whitt marriage from the register of marriages montgomery county 1777-1858, I can post these too if you like. -Payton James-Amberg
