I wasn’t aware of this bit of history, Margaret. Thanks!

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.

Or why? Just curious...

The upper is dated 31 March 1862 and the lower is 1864 - everything else is blurry to me. If anyone can help me decipher this hard-to-read handwriting I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
