I Certify, that there is an hiatus in the Register of Marriages solemnized by the Rev d Parent Vrooman Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church of Schenectady, between the years 1770 & 1783. I therefore can find no record of the marriage of James Macaul and Angelica Peek alleged to have been solemnized in the year 1773 by said Parent Vrooman. On examining the Register of Baptisms I find that said James Macaul & Angelica appeared as husband and wife before said Parent Vrooman at the Baptism of their son John on the fifth day of July 1774.
Given this 21 st day of June 1937
