The
first law regulating marriages
in the Territory was published
in the fall of 1788, at
Marietta.
Section
1. Provided that males of the
age of fourteen, and not
prohibited by the laws of God,
might be joined in marriages.
Section
2. Provided that any of the
Judges of the General Court or
Common Pleas or ministers of any
religious society within the
district in which they resided,
might solemnize marriages.
Section
3. Provided that before being
joined in marriage, the parties
should give notice of their
intentions by having them
proclaimed the preceding Sabbath
in their congregation ; or
notices in writing under the
hand and seal of one of the
Judges before mentioned, or a
Justice of the Peace of the
county, and posted in some
public place in the town where
the parties respectively resided
; or a license might be obtained
from the Governor, under his
hand and seal, authorizing the
marriage without the publication
aforesaid.
A
supplementary act was passed
August I, 1792, empowering every
Justice of the Peace to
solemnize marriages in their
respective counties, after
publication aforesaid, or upon
license. The following list
embraces all the marriages that
took place in Adams County down
to January 1, 1800. The records
