Coming in a little on this, however and reference to the margin notes.  In 1860 
there was a call to Arms as the Civil War broke out.    These certificates were 
proof of marriage.  The dates in between 1860-1865 will also be reflected in 
every man/boy that were of age birth records.  Proof of age.
