On Thursday se'nnight last,
was celebrated, at the seat of the Honourable Col. Broughton,
president of of his Majesty's council of this province, the
nuptials of Thomas Monk, of this province, Esq., and Miss
Johannah Broughton, daughter of the said Col. Broughton, a
young lady of merit and fortune. At which ceremony were
present, his Excellency, the Governor, his Lady and several
other persons of distinction. (Saturday, January 15,
1732.)
On Saturday last, a certain
gentleman, belonging to his Majesty's ship, the Aldborough,
met a jolly widow at a public house in this town, where after
a full bowl or two, and a little courtship in form, they came
to a resolutiou to decide the matter by a game at all-fours:
Their bodies and all their worldly goods for life, were the
stakes on each side. Fortune favor'd the fair, and she
insisting on the wager, nothing remained but for the parson to
tie the sacred knot, which was accordingly done that very
afternoon. I think this was doing of business.
We hear, since that, the
bride protests against hasty weddings, if ever she should be a
widow again; and resolves to try her next before hand, at
another game besides all-fours. (Saturday, January 15,
1732.)
On Monday evening last (as we
are informed) Miss Christiana Broughton, daughter of the
Honourable Col. Broughton, president of his Majesty's council

that are requisite to render the state she has enter'd upon
perfectly agreeable to its first happy institution. (Saturday,
January 22, 1731-32.)
We are inform'd that several
serviceable passengers, both men and women arrived here lately
from England, and that one of the young men and women being
not content to be useful to the country they are now come to,
in their single capacities only, have agreed to enter into the
state of matrimony, and unite their forces for the benefit and
increase of the province. A commendable zeal for the service
of our colony. (Saturday, March 4, 1731-32.)

anglicising L. Timoth‚e.]
