There seems to be quite a bit about William and Mary Butler's freedom suit here: [1]. Probably worth expanding the article with it.Eniagrom (talk) 10:22, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

What, no license required?

edit

it is interesting in light of current events that, back then Maryland apparently didn't license marriages. I assume that Eleanore simply found a minister willing to perform a marriage ceremony. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.64.209.102 (talk) 13:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC) I wrote the above comment before I realized that I wasn't logged in.

In the reference for note 2, it says that "they were married by a Catholic priest". Sort of as in Romeo and Juliet. No mention of any required license. Terry Thorgaard (talk) 13:38, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
