Intentions

Marriages 1763-1775
Transcribed from Wellfleet town records, volume 1, published as
page
images. This transcription is as literal as I can make it,
except dates
were usually entered with the numbers in the format 1st, 2d,
3d, 4th, etc., where the superscripts are often
shorthand symbols themselves.
The known marriage dates and places are bracketed, with Wellfleet noted
as [W]. Nearly all marriages occurred in the bride's home
town.
