Vol. 2 - Marriage Bond - 1799--February 9, Oliver Miller and Wm. Donaldson, surety. Oliver Miller and Margaret Hagerty, otherwise called Margaret Brown. "The difficulty with the clerk of Augusta in issuing a marriage license in the case of Oliver Miller and Margaret Brown is: That as it is a matter known to him that a certain Brown got a license some time ago to marry saidMargaret, after which they lived together some time as man and wife, when he left her and hath since never returned, whether it is the duty of the clerk on the application of said Miller for license to marry her, to have proof, either of the death of the said Brown or of the marriage under the first license never having been legally solemnized or of the said Brown being a married man at the time of the said pretended marriage, or, in short, whether it is the duty of the clerk to require proof that the said Margaret is a single woman? It appears to me under the law that the clerk discharged his duty by taking the bond and security required by law (which, together with the penalty against bigamy, seems to be the provision in the law to prevent illegal marriages) and to enquire whether the parties are of age. If these requisites are complied with, it appears to me to be at the risque of the parties themselves, if the marriage is illegal, and the clerk cannot withhold the license."--John Coalter, February 9, 1799.
