Transcription
These two marriage records are for Daniel Griffen and Hannah Griffen (1830) and their son, James Griffen, and Adaline Burling (1859), all of White Plains. The wording is the same for both records, although the later one is much more elaborately done and signed by the artist. Both include names of those attending the ceremony at the Religious Society of Friends in Purchase, who signed the documents as witnesses to the marriages. Quaker marriage records are important for genealogists, since they include the names of all present.
