LIST OF MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
Lists of Marriages and Deaths, from Samuel and Cadwallader Foulke's Memorandum Books.
The following lists are made up from memoranda found in two almanac memorandum books that were amongst the papers of Cadwallader Foulke (surveyor), of Gwynedd. The larger of the two is Aitken's General American Register and Calendar, for the Year 1774, printed at Philadelphia by R. Aitken ; the other is The Lancaster Pocket Almanack, for the Year 1778, " by An- thony Sharp, Philom.," printed at Lancaster by Francis Bailey. The two contain blank leaves on which the memoranda appear. Both of them no doubt were originally the property of Samuel Foulke, of Richland (son of Hugh and Ann), and the memo- randa, begun by him, were added to by his son Cadwalader. Most of the marriages and a large part of the deaths are those of persons living at Richland, but as it would be difficult to select strictly those belonging to Gwynedd, and as there were so many ties of kindred and acquaintance with the Richland people, I have thought it altogether proper to give all that are found in both books. The marriage list is as follows. (For convenience of reference I have prefixed to the entries a series of numbers.)

1 TT is intended to present, here, systematically, all the ascer- tained facts concerning Thomas, Robert, Owen, and Cad- wallader Evans, of Gwynedd, and their descendants. The details given are by no means complete : some of the branches of the family could not be traced beyond the early generations ; and in some cases information asked for was not furnished ; yet the mass of facts given is extensive, and may serve as the basis for fuller work by any one who is particularly interested in the family.
