Before me Ashley Hewitt preacher of the Gospel duly authorised to celebrate marriages
in the aforesaid Parish by License granted by the Honorable Oliver J. Morgan Parish Judge
bearing date 22 day of June 1817, personally appeared Mr. John Dyson resident of said
Parish aged 40 and Nancy Faulk daughter of Pheobe Faulk widow, aged 30, who say and declare
that they were married by the Honorable Benjamin Tennille, Parish Judge of Catahola, that
from their union they have had issue by, Jonathan born 11th June 1809, Aaron born 
17th March 1811, Pheby born May 3, 1813, Marinda born August 4th 1815, which children are 
still living.  The said appears have moreover declared that having doubts as to the 
validity of their marriage so as aforesaid celebrated by a Parish Judge they have determined
to cause the same to be celebrated anew by a preacher of the Gospel duly authorised to 
celebrate Marriages, in consequence whereof they have taken out a license from the Judge
of this Parish bearing date the 10th of August 1817 authorising their marriage, which 
license they have presented to me the aforesaid Preacher of the Gospel and have requested
to be married, wherefore being respectfully questioned, they do declare that it is their
mutual wish and intention to take each the other as Husband & Wife and that they acknowledge
as legitimate their children before mentioned as the lawful issue of their union and
therefore I have duly joined them together in Marriage.
Done at Ouachitta this 8th October 1817 in

the Gospel and the subscribing witnesses

the present.
