| Harvey and Mary Jane Bacon Scott Marriage Certificate 2 January 1855 |
You've heard of WYSIWIG? It is an acronym that means What You See Is What You Get. It usually is used when talking about computerized fonts. Sometimes fonts are "translated" by the printer and don't print exactly as they appeared on the computer. Others are printed exactly the same.
In this case, it applies to the paucity of information found on this marriage document. Names of bride and groom, they lived in Franklin NH, date of marriage and officiant. Nothing about the family on the back (so I didn't even include that side). No information on the front. It is very disappointing, to say the least. You can't get any new information other than the day and month of the wedding, and proof that they were, indeed, married.
11 October 1856, age 30
Birth of son Marshal Winfield Scott, Salisbury, Merrimack NH
