1829 Philadelphia Marriage Certificate — Handwritten and Signed by Thomas Dunn
$75.00
Original manuscript marriage certificate dated November 16, 1829, recording the union of John, whose surname appears to read Tosthill, and Mary Berman, both residents of Philadelphia.
Written entirely in brown ink, the certificate states that the couple “wer united together In holy matrimony” and concludes with the boldly flourished signature of officiant Thomas Dunn. The groom’s surname remains subject to confirmation.
A personal survival from early nineteenth-century Philadelphia, offering genealogical interest and an attractive example of period handwriting.
Condition: Age toning, scattered foxing, prominent vertical folds with associated discoloration, minor edge wear, and a small split at the lower right edge. Text and signature remain clearly visible.
