Keep in mind: What the page says, as read at thumbnail scale: 'This is to certify that Mr. Nathaniel Ames of Milburn and Miss Hannah Dow of Madison in the county of Somerset(?) and State of Maine were joined in marriage ... the 20th day of December 1825', signed by a justice of the peace and 'a true copy, attest, Samuel Weston, Town Clerk'. Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed: Nathaniel Phineas Ames (1800-1882) and Hannah E. Dow (1806-1881) match the names and a marriage in the 1820s; the Book of Dow gives the same marriage.
