      MR Bk 6, p. 216, shows that on Aug 17 1840, Richard Perine and Andrew Gaston signed a marriage bond in the amount of $150 for David Prine [sic] and Matilda Gaston. But MR Bk 3, p. 148, shows that when the minister returned the certificate for the Aug 27 1840 ceremony, the groom's first name was erroneously entered as Daniel. It is clear, however, that it was David Perine who married Matilda Gaston.
