Raleigh Standard 11 April 1860
   MARRIED, on the Raven Fork of Oconalufta, in Jackson County, on the 17th of 
February, by REV. W. W. SMITH, JOHN OOL-STOO-IH to GIN-SEH, granddaughter of 
STANDING WOLF. The ceremony was interpreted to the parties by JEFFERSON 
HORNBUCKLE.
   This marriage may be worthy of note from the fact that it is the first 
licensed marriage that has even been solemnized among the Cherokees East. 
Under an Ordinance passed some months since, by a full Council of the Nation, 
a marriage to be made legal, must be licensed by a native clerk, appointed for 
that purpose. This is the first marriage under it. The same ordinance 
abolished bigamy. -- Franklin (Macon) Observer
