Excerpt from Marriage Records of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Vol. 1: 1795-1875 For a full account of the earlier legislation in this State concerning marriages, see the article on The Marriage Laws of New Jersey by William Nelson, in Vol. XXII, First Series of New Jersey Archives, which volume contains the records of all marriage bonds filed in the Secretary of State's office from 1665 to 1800. The Marriage records in the Clerk's office of Hunterdon county are in four volumes, containing the original entries, perhaps sometimes made by the pastors themselves, as appears by the handwriting, but otherwise by the County Clerk. For marriages previous to 1795 reference must be had to the Marriage License books in Trenton, in the Secretary of State's office, or to Vol. XXII of the New Jersey Archives (first series), in which the names and dates of these Trenton records are carefully printed, although without the accompanying data of the signers of the marriage bonds (usually a parent or relative of one of the parties); otherwise to the records of the local churches, where they exist. The names are spelled in most cases as they appear upon the records. Where corrections have been made they are based on Bible records. Practically all marriages in this list appear twice, under the name of the husband and the maiden name of the wife. In a few cases, where one name is omitted in the records, or is indecipherable, it has necessarily been omitted here. Every effort has been made to make this list accurate, butthose who have had experience in examining old public records will realize that absolute accuracy is impossible. The figures following the date of marriage refer to the volume and page in the original records. The names in parentheses are of the officiating clergymen or Justices of the Peace. The first record was filed July 5, 1795, and the last December 26, 1884. The records give residence, and names of parents in some cases, but they are omitted here. A considerable number of residents of adjoining counties will be found herein, and likewise some Hunterdon couples went across the line to be married.
