Life History

Notes

• Few married the widow Esther Lichlyter Bragg in 1834, but the record under the Bragg name reports "No Return," which would seem to mean that no minister or JP returned a report of performing the ceremony.  The two facing pages of the book are all No Returns, which were all recopied into a separate book or separate section of the Marriage Book.  They are not in date order but the entries are numbered in order.
