PERTHUIS, Louis and Wife
12 April 1793
I, a missionary priest, had the following persons repeat their mutual marriage vows and administered this sacrament according to the way prescribed by the Church -
LOUIS PERTHUIS, born on this Post, son of the late Pierre Perthuis and the late Jeanne Francoeur, his father and mother, and MARIE MADELEINE BENOIT, from Carolina, daughter of late André BENOIT and SUZANNE RAYE, her father and mother.
They had already taken each other as husband and wife in the presence of witnesses for lack of priest in the same place, present to their marriage the brothers (?) Delino, Ducassin, Babe, Soumande who sign below with us. The brother and sisters-in- law of the groom as well as the mother and sisters of the bride declared they could not sign.
