Extremely rare partly-printed DS, one page, 7.75 x 6, December 1, 1841. Marriage license reads, in part: “To any regularly ordained Minister of the Gospel…You are hereby authorized and empowered to solemnize the rites of matrimony between Gilbert M. Buchanan & Sophie W. Stockton.” Signed at the conclusion by Clerk John Gray and Deputy Clerk J. D. Giddings. Intersecting folds, uniform toning, some mirroring of ink from folding, and show-through from docketing on reverse, otherwise very good condition. The license retains its original red wax seal and blue ribbons. According to research, this was the first form of printed marriage license in Texas. The Robert Davis Collection.
