RECORD OF MARRIAGES
By Elder P. Wright of Newport, New York
1857-1871
The "Record of Marriages of Elder P. Wright of Newport, New York" was found in Volume 465 of the
Unpublished Miscellaneous Compiled Records of the NYS D.A.R., pages 73-77 (1976-77). None of Rev. Wright's marriages
took place in Newport. Perhaps he resided there but served a church in a neighboring town. However, as he traveled so far and wide and
had a small town "beat", he appears to have been a circuit minister.
Transcriber's notes in parentheses were made by preparer Steven Knight or myself, and spellings are exactly as given in the original
transcription. Neither Steven nor I have further info about individuals named in these records and refer you in advance to
the appropriate county historical society. For your convenience, I put together an explanatory list of locations, which follows
the marriage records.
