The marriage license application of Solomon Leach and Harriet Ann Fowler is very difficult to read and I was unable to get a clean scan, so here’s the text:
THE STATE OF OHIO, Geauga County, ss.
Personally appeared John Leach and made application for a MARRIAGE LICENCE (sic) for Solomon Leach, and Harriet Ann Fowler of the township of Burton in said county, and made solemn oath that the said Solomon Leach is of the age of twenty one years, and the said Harriet Ann Fowler is of the age of eighteen years; that they are both single, and not nearer of kin than first cousins; that he knows of no legal impediment against their being joined in marriage. Signed: John Leach, Sworn and subscribed this 29th day of December, 1854 before me (unreadable name), Deputy Clerk.
