Early New Jersey Marriages - Extracts
                                                  


from microfilm copies of original marriage bonds in possession of NJ Dept. of  Education,
Division of State Library Archives & History, filmed in 1966. "Marriages are from various
counties, and are arranged in groups by surname, but not alphabetical within groups." (Family
History Library Catalog; 0888701-0888710)
I have capitalized all surnames for ease in identification. When there was a discrepancy with a
name in the body of the bond and the signature, the difference of the signature is in parentheses
An asteric * indicates spelling of a locality as found in document.

note: the surname of the bondsman looks more like CONNON to me, with the first hump of the

written "r" & "s". The clerk who wrote the bond had the benefit of hearing the name spoken.
