Some or the records are for mp~r1ages solemnized as early ea 1848 and a great many of these marrisges took place before Oregon became a state (1859). These records were all hand written by the Recorder or his Deputy and in some cases extremely difficult to reac. Care was usec in this abstracting and when it was impossible to determine excctly what the Record er had intended more thei11 one spelling of the name is given. Those using these records must keep in mind that often the person writing the record spelled the nar.1e as it sound ea to him. On some the notation "5¢ U. s. St~'?lJ) affixed" or "101 U.S. Stamp affiaed" or" 5~(10¢) U. Sa R.(Revenue) Stamp" followed the rer-m!ar recorc. Y!l'.
