Although someone had written 1786, Cowger, Jacob and Catherine Harpole, I did not include this notation as the previously typed page and the marriage bond clearly states George as the groom and Jacob as a witness.

Engle performed the ceremony; the parents of James S. Cowger are Noah M. & Sarah C.

Porter performed the ceremony; Jesse Lee's parents are Wm. J. & Josephine R. Cowger, he is a farmer, 25 years old from Pendleton County, Annie's parents are Jacob P. & Frances Kagey, she is 22 years old from Rockingham.
