WEDDINGS AMONG THE VILLAGERS.

The compiler, in the course of researches for this history, has gathered
the following list of marriages, with dates, occurring during the seventeen
years prior to the end of the village period. Though far from comprising
all the weddings of that time, each of these will be of historic interest
to somebody.
