This work embraces as complete a collection of early New York marriage licenses as could be put together from official sources. With its various supplements, it comprises records of about one-fourth of all marriages that took place in New York prior to 1784, when the practice of issuing marriage licenses fell into disuse. In brief, it contains approximately 25,000 entries arranged alphabetically under the names of both brides and grooms, each giving the date of the license and a reference to the precise location of the original record. The main body of the book consists of a reprint of the monumental Names of Persons for Whom Marriage Licenses Were Issued by the Secretary of the Province of New York, Previous to 1784, originally published in 1860. The supplements, additions, and corrections we have appended to this basic work consist of (1) a 48-page "Supplementary List of Marriage Licenses," originally published by the University of the State of New York as a State Library Bulletin in 1898; (2) 44 pages of additions and corrections by Robert H. Kelby entitled "New York Marriage Licenses," which appeared in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record between 1915 and 1916; (3) 19 pages of additional marriage licenses, by Kenneth Scott, which appeared in the Record (1967) as "New York Marriage Licenses, 1639-1706;" and (4) an index to Dr. Scott's article, published here from manuscript.

Genealogy

Thoroughness is the hallmark of this work. It contains genealogical abstracts from more than 7,000 issues of eighty newspapers printed in Virginia in the 18th century! In addition, where there were gaps in the Virginia papers, newspapers from nearby states were scanned for Virginia material. In selecting items to abstract, Dr. Headley looked especially for those that gave at least two pieces of genealogical data: age and place of residence, for example, date of death and names of executors, or name of spouse and place of residence. The following kinds of items provided the basis for most of the abstracts included in the work: marriage notices, death notices, estate sales and settlements, advertisements for runaways--usually servants, apprentices, slaves, or deserters--and court cases. Information furnished in the abstracts varies from item to item, of course. Marriage notices, death notices, and estate settlements usually provide details on next of kin, occupation, and place of residence, while notices for runaways tend to be the juiciest of all. They can provide minute descriptions down to the manner of wearing the hair, tattoos, personality, and clothing; and they sometimes give place of birth, age, date imported, name of ship on which imported, occupation, and suspected destination. But the chief thing is that this work draws together all genealogical data in 18th-century Virginia newspapers--in itself a stupendous achievement. Thanks to Dr. Headley's labors, we now have abstracts of approximately 10,000 items of a genealogical nature found in 18th-century Virginia papers, and an index to an additional 10,000 persons mentioned in the notices. If you've hit a dead-end in your Virginia research, this may be the way out.
