AFFIDAVIT FOR MARRIAGE RECORD 1840s
by Antoinette Waughtel Sorensen
What would be a reason, other than one party being under age, for an
Affidavit? If the Sarah SINEX who married Henry CROWL was born 1818 (have
full date of birth) and they married in 1842 she would have been 24. The
word Affdvt is under her name on the page that I have - BUT if it might
pertain to another - and I'm guessing now - a Sarah CAMPBELL who married an
Andrew SINEX in 1830/32 and he died prox 1838/39 would this be a reason she
might need an affidavit that she is free to marry? We are trying to
determine which Sarah did actually marry Henry CROWL and complete that
branch of the SINEX lineage. Thank you for any help one might be able to
give us.
