The marriages were sequentially listed, with a few exceptions. The text is transcribed as written, except that I didn't reproduce the superscripts. Most dates were written with superscripted endings (1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, . . .) ,  Junior was often written as junr, Junr, jnr, with a superscripted flourish for the r,  and August was sometimes written as Augst.
Marriages were officiated by the town minister, Rev Isaiah Lewis, from 1730-1785,  except as noted.
