Wedding Kiss by Consuelo Gamboa
Generously transcribed & submitted by Sherida Dougherty, thanks Sherida!
Please Note: The following records were taken from a Black Marriage Record book found at the Pendleton County Court House. I must point out that at least one of these marriage records is not correct as the bride and groom were white. I have left the record here because this may be the only place you will find that record. This is a great illustration of the necessity to check ALL record sources.
