1stly. I have on 24 Octo by request of Major Motte - & two Englishmen - who are
Majors - and at their own Risk and Responsibility Married in the house of Mrs
Price a widow - in the Village of Beystein - a Possession of the English Crown. Joseph Russel to Mrs. Margaret Russel. Her maiden name was Price. The Major read the marriage service in English in my presence. (Hans Ulrich Giessendanner, the elder) |
Comment Joop: There is no such thing as the
village of Beystein - a Possession of the English Crown., this is a
misreading by Salley;
the original says "Major English" (indicating a person), not "Major (Motte) in
English" (indicating the language)
