PRIEST.
In the New Hampshire Sentinel for Dec. 22, 1804, the marriage is announced, at Sullivan, of Mr. David Mead of Keene to Miss FAITHFUL. PRIEST of Sullivan. In the Sullivan town records, under date of March II, 1805, as it would seem from the arrangement of the dates, there is a record of the publishing of the bans of marriage between David Meade of Keene and THANKFUL FROST (if we correctly deciphered the name of the bride upon the manuscript). The bride was not probably a legal resident of Sullivan, and we are unable to determine which of the two names was her real name.
