MARRIAGE LICENSES, MARRIAGE BONDS, AND MARRIAGES.
AUGUSTA COUNTY.
Prior to the Revolution, marriage could be solemnized only by a minister
of the Established Church. For this purpose a license might be procured.
This was a perquisite of the Governor, but was ordinarily issued from the
office of the County Clerk, who accounted with the Governor in his
settlement with the Secretary each year. No record was kept by the Clerk of
the licenses issued by him except for the purposes of this settlement. The
274
following list of Marriage Licenses between the years 1748 and 1774 is
compiled from entries made by the Clerk on the fly leaves at the ends of the
Fee Books. They can scarcely be complete even for those years that are
noted. Probably the desire to be brief is the only explanation of the
remarkable circumstance that only the names of men are entered.
After the establishment of the Commonwealth, ministers of any denomination
might be authorized to celebrate matrimony by license from a court.
They could act, however, only after a bond had been given in the Clerk's
office as security that the marriage laws would not be violated by the issuance
of a license to the parties, and the issuance of that license. These bonds
were generally given by the prospective bridegroom and one or more of
his friends as surety. In most cases, the parent or guardian of the woman
gave a written consent, which was filed with the bond. The written consent
was witnessed by two or more persons. The bond itself frequently
bore the names of attesting witnesses. A copy of such a bond and consent
is printed immediately before the list of marriage bonds.
After the marriage ceremony, the minister made a return to the Clerk's
office of the fact, with its date.
The lists given herewith are complete within the period noted as far
as could be determined from the files in the Clerk's office.
It will be noticed that the first four hundred and forty-eight notes of
bonds are arranged in this form: First, the names of the man and woman
to be married, with the date of the bond; second, the identification of the
woman, and whether consent was given; third, the names of witnesses
and surety. The remainder of the notes follow more closely the form of
the bond--that is: first, the name of the bridegroom and his sureties, with
date of the bond; second, names of the man and woman to be married;
third, identification of the woman, or man, or both; fourth, whether
consent was given; fifth, names of witnesses to the bond, or consent.
