Taft Marriages in Vermont to 1870

Source: Data submitted by Neil B. Todd, October 2004.

The marriage records over this period are very uneven in their content. Not until about 1860 is it usual to find any information on age or parentage. While residence is given on many records, it has only been transcribed for out-of-state localities. Descent from (or relationship to) one of the sons of Robert¹ (D = Daniel; T = Thomas; R = Robert; J = Joseph; B = Benjamin) or from Matthew¹ has been indicated.
