Stormont Township Book
In the early years of many communities, a book for registering marriages and births was kept by a clerk or the local magistrate, or some other person in authority.
This is a transcibed copy of the Stormont Township Book.
Many of the entries were not readable while viewing the microfilm copy at P.A.N.S. The photocopies I made of the microfilm copy are even worse, but I have done my best to transcribe the entries as accurately as possible.
Please let me know of any errors.
