OF OLD NEW YORK

Old Time Marriage and Death Notices

Compiled by A. J. Wall
Ass't. Librarian, The New York Historical Society

The following marriages and deaths are copied from
the New York Weekly Museum and cover the periods
January 7th to December 30th, 1797, and May 12th to
December 29th, 1798, the latter being a continuation from
the last Manual, page 348. The marriages for the year
1797 were not available at the time the Manual for 1919
went to press and are therefore printed in this issue.
The date at the end of each notice is the date of pub¬
lication in the Weekly Museum which appeared always
on Saturday.

The newspapers for February 11th, April 8th, June
17th and September 23rd in the year 1797 are lacking
from the file of the Weekly Museum in possession of The
New York Historical Society, from which these notices
were copied. From September 1st to November 10th,
1798, the paper was not issued owing to the prevailing
Fever Epidemic in this city.

The arrangement of these notices in the following list
has been changed from the chronological sequence of the
preceding installments to an alphabetical classification;
the names of the wives having a reference to that of the
husband under whose name the marriage notice is given.

As the names of both parties therefore appear in the
list they have been omitted from the index at the end of
this volume.
