Governor's Accounts including Lists of Marriage, Tavern, Peddlers Licenses and Ships' Registers

Since September 30, 1885, marriage licenses have been required in Pennsylvania and are maintained by the Marriage License Clerk in the county courthouse of the county issuing the license. Before September 30, 1885 the issuing of licenses was not obligatory, but was intended for those cases where the banns were not published or the marriage in church was dispensed with. For these earlier marriages, church records and newspapers may provide information.

The State Archives does not have copies of old newspapers except for a small amount of special collections microfilm in Manuscript Group 262.To locate obituaries or other topics, the State Library of Pennsylvania has an extensive collection of Pennsylvania newspapers.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1864) 2nd Inaugural

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
