This volume contains 288 marriages compiled from the courthouse register. Data accompanying each entry usually includes bondsman and minister's name from the return. Publishers do not always notify the book community about changes in the availability of their titles. To this new revised edition is added a complete index of names in the volume, including bride, groom, bondsmen, parents, witnesses, guardians, ministers and any other person mentioned in the original document. Also an appendix of ministers is added along with the number of marriages conducted by each and an outer date range for the marriages of each minister.
Most records are quite complete and contain a wealth of genealogical information.
In 1838 the U.S. Congress directed that money remaining unclaimed by pensioners be transferred by the agents for paying pensions to the Treasury, if the money had remained unclaimed for eight months. This book is a list of 16,000 settled accounts for pensioners or their heirs who were required to obtain their payments from Washington. Pensioners from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Indian Wars, and the Mexican War are included. Pension Officers from all over the United States forwarded their accounts. Since these records were collected and maintained by the Auditors, and not the Pension Offices, they have not usually been included in pension research.
