  Marriage Notes:

The marriage dates vary slightly based on the referenced document which does not necessarily show the actual event. Some documents show a historic and archaic terminology still being used in Massachusetts at the time such as a "Marriage Intention" or "Purpose of Marriage" which I gather are similar to a modern day marriage application.
