From the files in the library of the Charleston Library Society, Charleston, S. C. ALBANY. N. Y.: Joel Munsell's Sons. Publishers. 1902. rf» fr rfK* !& **! 1148450 MARRIAGE NOTICES IN The South-Carolina Gazette. news- [ The South Carolina Gazette was a weekly paper founded in Charles Town in the province of by T. Whitmarsh. **1 South Carolina in the year 1732 The first issue of it appeared on Saturday, January in 8, 1732. It was not the first paper established South Carolina. On Monday, July 10, 1732, Eleazer died in Charles Town, and the Gazette •=o Philips, Jr., on Saturday, the 15th, following announced: "On Monday morning last died Mr. Eleazer Philips, Printer in the Town." Two years later his father, Eleazer Philips, Sr., a bookseller in Charles Town, advertised in the Gazette for a settlement of all debts due himself or the estate of his son, Eleazer mention Philips, Jr., for news, printing, etc. Special is made of subscriptions due Eleazer Philips, Jr., for six months of The South Carolina Weekly Journal. Now, if that paper had run for exactly six months prior to the death of Eleazer Philips, Jr., then it was established at the very date that The South-Carolina Gazette was established, but as no mention of a con- temporary is made by The South-Carolina Gazette [3] it is to be presumed that The South Carolina Week- ly Journal antedated it. The date in parentheses after each record indi- cates what paper the marriage notice appeared in.] On Thursday se'nnight last, was celebrated, at the seat of the Honourable Col. Broughton, president of of his Majesty's council of this province, the nuptials of Thomas Monk, of this province, Esq., and Miss Johannah Broughton, daughter of the said Col. Broughton, a young lady of merit and fortune. At which ceremony were present, his Excellency, the Governor, his Lady and several other persons of dis- tinction. (Saturday, January 15, 1732.) On Saturday last, a certain gentleman, belonging to his Majesty's ship, the Aldborough, met a jolly widow at a public house in this town, where after a full bowl or two, and a little courtship in form, they came to a resolutiou to decide the matter by a game at all-fours : Their bodies and all their worldly goods for life, were the stakes on each side. Fortune favor'd the fair, and she insisting on the wager, nothing remained but for the parson to tie the sacred knot, which was accordingly done that very after- noon. I think this was doing of business. We hear, since that, the bride protests against hasty weddings, if ever she should be a widow again ; and resolves to try her next before hand, at another game besides all-fours. (Saturday, January 15, 1732.) On Monday evening last (as we are informed) Miss Christiana Broughton, daughter of the Honour- able Col. Broughton, president of his Majesty's coun- cil of this- province, was married to the Rev. Mr. Dwight. The young lady (we hear) is mistress of all the accomplishments that are requisite to render the state she has enter'd upon perfectly agreeable to its first happy institution. (Saturday, January 22, 1731-32.) _• We are inform'd that several serviceable passen- gers, both men and women arrived here lately from England, and that one of the young men and women being not content to be useful to the country they are now come to, in their single capacities only, have agreed to enter into the state of matrimony, and unite their forces for the benefit and increase of the province. A commendable zeal for the service of our colony. (Saturday, March 4, 1731-32.) Thursday last, Mr. Osmond, merchant of this town, was married to Miss Mary Hall, daughter of Col. Arthur Hall of this province, a young lady of great merit and fortune. (Saturday, April 15, 1732.) On Thursday last, about eight in the evening, Doctor William Cleiland was married to Mrs. Mc- Nabney, a widow lady of a good fortune, at her house in this town, where a handsome entertainment was given to some of their particular friends, and the evening was passed with abundance of agreeable mirth on the occasion. (Saturday, April 29, 1732.) Wednesday last Mr. William Cattell, merchant, of this town, was married in the country by the Rev. Mr. Guy to Miss Anne Cattell, a relation to the said Mr. Cattell. And the next day Mr. Crawford was married in town, by Mr. Basset, to Miss Sally Bel- lamy, who are both (we are told) very deserving ladies. (Saturday, May 20, 1732.) Thursday last Mr. Foissine was married to Miss Mary La-Rush. (Saturday, June 10, 1732.) Last week was married in St. Thomas's Parish, one Mr. John Strahan, 70 years of age, to Mrs. Naomi Painter of sixty. (Saturday, March 17, I732-33-) * On Wednesday last Thomas Dale, M. D., was married to Mrs. Mary Brewton, at St. Philip's church in Charlestown. (Saturday, March 31, 1733.) [The last issue of The South-Carob'na Gazette of T. Whitmarsh appeared on Saturday, September 8, i733» Whitmarsh having died of yellow fever the summer preceding. In 1734 L. Timothee came to South Carolina, and on February 2, 1734, issued the first number of The South-Carolina Gazette, thus tak- ing the same name that Whitmarsh's paper had borne. With the issue of April 6, 1734, Lewis Timothy appeared as the name of the printer, thus anglicising L. Timothee.] On Thursday, the 18th inst. Mr. Robert Pringle, merchant in Charlestown, was married to Miss Jane Allen, a beautiful young lady, daughter of Mr. Andrew Allen, an eminent merchant in this town. (Saturday, July 27, 1734.) Last Thursday Mr. Isaac Chardon, a very worthy eminent merchant of this town, was married to Miss Mary Woodward, of James's Island, a young lady of conspicuous merit and a large fortune. (Saturday, November 8, 1735.) And yesterday John Daniel Esq; was married to Miss Sarah Raven, a young lady of great merit and fortune. (Saturday, January 24, 1735-6.) On Thursday last Mr. John Bedon jun. was mar- ried to Mrs Elizabeth Massey, relict of Mr. Benjamin Massey deceased. (Saturday, July 31, 1736.) 7 On Thursday last Thomas Lamboll, Esq., was married at Ashley Ferry, by the Rev. Mr. Guy, to Mrs. Peggy Edgar, a very agreeable lady. (Satur- day, April 16, 1737.) [The last issue of the Gazette to appear on Satur- day was that for Saturday, April 1 5, 1 738. The next issue appeared Thursday, April 20, and thereafter it appeared every Thursday. Lewis Timothy was accidentally killed at the close of the year 1738 (buried Dec. 30 — St. Philip's register); but the paper was continued by his widow, with her son Peter Timothy as printer. Finally, Mrs. Elizabeth Timothy sold her interest to Peter Timothy. The last Satur- day issue appeared Saturday, Sept. 20, 1 740. The next issue appeared Friday, Sept. 26, and the next Thursday, Oct. 2, and thereafter was regularly issued on Thursday.] Last Tuesday Capt. Ebenezer Simmons, of this town, merchant, was married to Mrs. Mary Jones, widow, a lady of great beauty, merit and fortune. (Thursday, January 22, 1741.) [The issue *for Thursday, Aug. 6, 1741, was the last Thursday issue ; the next issue appearing on Saturday, the 16th, and thereafter appearing regu- larly on Saturday. After Saturday, June 5, 1742, the date of publication was changed to Monday, the next issue appearing Monday, June 14, 1742.] On Thursday Mr. Edward Gough was married to Mrs. Mary Elliot, a beautiful young widow, with fine accomplishments and a very considerable fortune. (Monday, Sept. 27, 1742.) In our last it was inserted that Mr. Edward Gough was married to Mrs. Mary Elliot, widow, but we are since assured that they are not married, and that the person who brought the information thereof had been imposed upon. (Monday, October 4, 1743.) On Wednesday last Mr. John Beswicke, of this town, merchant, was married to Miss Mary Hill, an agreeable young lady, of great merit and a large fortune. (Monday, November 22, 1742.) We hear that Colonel Miles Brewton was lately married to the widow Paine, a very worthy gentle- woman. (Monday, March 14, 1743.) From Saxe-Gotha township, in this province, we have the following remarkable account, viz.: That on the 1 8th of April last five couples were married at once, in a yard near that place ; four whereof were a man and three of his daughters, and the woman of the fifth couple was niece to the same man. Proba- tion est. (Postscript, Monday, May 23, 1743.) Friday, May 27, 1743, Capt. Thomas Frankland, of the Rose, man-of-war, "was married to Miss Sarah Rhett, a beautiful and accomplish'd young lady, with a large fortune." (Monday, May 30, 1743.)

In 1719 the General Assembly of South Carolina directed that a parish register be kept in each parish in the Province. The register of St. Philip's Parish starts with the year 1720, but a few records of earlier dates were entered subsequently. St. Philip's Parish dates from 1682, but it is not now known whether any sort of register was kept prior to 1720. This copy of the register of St. Philip's Parish was made l.)\' me from the original. The letters and figures in brackets indented into the printing show the pagination of the original. The index to the original is arranged in doulile colunui, but here the large letters rep- resent the beginning of each page and the small letters the beginning of the second column of each page. A.
