Marriages of Dutchess County, New York

These marriage records were transcribed by Lester Card and compiled in 1949. Mr. Card's introduction to this transcription reads:

"These marriages are taken from some minister's personal record, entered in a small ( 5 x 8 ) memorandum book. It is endorsed as being the book of Rev. Andrew Judson, but they are not his marriages. They appear to be those of some Baptist minister, residing in Dutchess County, New York, at or near Bangall. The writing is terrific, and the spelling altogether phonetic. To add to the puzzle, the book has been for a long time in water, causing the ink to run. Therefore, in this copy, you will find numerous question marks. Where decipherable, I have followed his spelling. If vague, I have given the name in present spelling but questioned, Some were so poor they did not resemble any name, and are copied as they appear. "
