The William and Mary Quarterly, 2nd Ser., Vol. 8, No. 2 (Apr., 1928), pp. 99-110, Mrs. Russell S. Barrett, original transcriber. This is the first part of the series. The author's note follows. "The following is a complete list of all the early marriage bonds that are still in the Norfolk County Court House. In many cases the ink is so pale it is almost illegible, the paper in some is so worn and tender it drops to pieces with the most careful handling; many parts are missing. The greater number, however, are in very good condition. A great many are missing, not one remains for the years of 1775, 1776, 1777, 1778, 1780, 1794. The records disclose only one marriage bond for each of the following years: 1771, 1774, 1781, 1782. We have included lists turned into the clerk's office by ministers of the gospel. All names on these lists are not represented by bonds, however, but such marriages were solemnized by the said ministers, and so we have included them, as it is the only record of these marriages remaining. 1765, July --, John Butt and Elizabeth Fairfield 1766, Sep 13, Arthur Butt and Martha Riddlehurst 1768, Apr 26, Sam Langley and Sarah Butt 1772, Apr 23, Joseph Langley and Sarah Butt 1772, Aug 14, Malaba Butt and Eliza.
