John George and Sarah Perry New Jersey, Marriage Records, 1683-1802 - Volume XXII, Marriage Records 1665-1800 page 295
John George is our Revolutionary War Veteran on Great-Grandma, Anna Clara (Hitch) Irwin side of the family. John George and Sarah Perry were married December 31, 1772 in Burlington County, New Jersey.
Interesting Note: You will notice that John George was married to Sarah Durell on March 2, 1765 – seven years before his marriage to Sarah Perry. I wonder if this is the same John George or if Sarah Durell died sometime before 1772.
I have included the first portion of the book because the customs and laws regarding marriage where very interesting. You will find John George marriage on the last page of this blog posting.
