I will now give some of the early marriages of the township. Many, no doubt, will be omitted that might with propriety be inserted. Previous to 1803, license had to be obtained from Cincinnati and among Friends, previous to 1803, by the authority of their monthly meeting in Pennsylvania. It was not unusual, however, if a couple desired to marry, to advertise it, and then appoint a public meeting and unite in marriage by a public declaration—after the manner of the Friends. I have been informed that William Mills, who came here from Carolina in 1799, was married in that way. By furnishing proof of publication to a Justice or minister, parties could be married without license:
