As stated in the record, John A. Waldrop JP was justice of the peace in
Orange County. My guess is that the notation was to verifiy proof of the
document, and the info it contains, for a military pension.
Just a guess!!

Subject: [INORANGE] White Family Register 1813-1863
Dear List Members,
I need some help.
I just recently received some documentation from a DAR submittal on Henry
Sanders. It contained a "Family Register" possibly removed from the
family
bible of David White and Mary (Polly) Denny. Two of David and
Mary's
children married grandchildren of Henry Sanders.
On the page containing Marriages, the following information is entered in
the top margin:
"Orange County Indiana ? Identified on this day 13th day of January 1864
before me a justice of the peace in Said County [signed by]John A Waldrop
J
P ?"
Why would this type of notation be made on a family register of births,
deaths and marriages?
How do I find out more about this?
Where was John A Waldrop J P located?
Is it possible the original pages are part of some court case in 1864?
I live in Texas so can't go search the records-darn it!
