Marriages 1771-1775
Transcribed from Wellfleet town records, volume 1, published as
page
images. This transcription is as literal as I can make it,
except dates
were often entered with the numbers in the format 1st, 2d,
3d, 4th, etc., where the superscripts are often
shorthand symbols themselves. It is not always clear whether the women
were Mrs or Miss.
The known marriage dates and places are bracketed, with Wellfleet noted
as [W]. Nearly all marriages occurred in the bride's home
town.
