"thus reads his record of marriage to his wife: 'Jan. 2, 1735, I appeared before a small assembly of people at my brother Joseph Lyman's (house), and there I promised to love, honor, nourish and cherish and live with my dear wife, as the law of God and man does direct, in a marriage-covenant, and I pray the God of love and peace to enable me to keep this covenant and be found blameless.'"
