Sir
Yours of the 22 nd was received at yesterday, - I have made a careful search for the marriage of Mr. Carey, but without success -
The law requiring Ministers to return to the Court a list of Marriages did not take effect until 1789, and very few returns were made for several years after that period - It is highly probable that the Minister neglected to do his duty -

Sir Yours of the 1 st inst. was received yesterday. In my letter to you I forgot to mention that we have no Marriage Bonds dated back farther than 1787. What became of them. I cannot say. Bonds must have been given previous to that time. And since I have been here, I have applied to the Clerk of Alexandria for information. But he was unable to give me any. I thought that in removing the papers from the District, some papers might have been left.
The Clerk's Office of our County was kept in Alexandria until 1800.
I am sorry that we cannot furnish you with the evidence sought for.
Yrs: Very respectfully
