Scope and content	Abstracts of African American marriages from cohabitation records found in a Buncombe County ledger book in the Raleigh Archives. These "marriages" were recorded after the North Carolina General Assembly passed "An Act Concerning Negroes and Persons of Color or Mixed Blood." This act required those whose "cohabitation" became a state of marriage to appear before the Clerk of the County Court or Justice of the Peace to have the marriage acknowledged. The marriages were registered in 1866 and estimated lengths of marriage range from 52 years to a few months with a couple of marriage dates in 1867 and one in 1868, so the years for these marriages run from 1814-1868.
