TRANSCRIPTION NOTES:
Document is highly illegible and difficult to decipher due to ink bleed-through and smudges. I deciphered some words by context, which fits the typical legal-clerical language. The marriage date is very "iffy," especially the month, which looks like "J~~~y." Blevins' surname is illegible on the signature. His seal is a circular squiggle. George White's seal looks like a "JP" with the "P" being a big circle.
