MARRIAGE RECORDS, THE FIRST REFORM CHURCH, EASTON, PA
 To the best of my knowledge, and for research only... 
The First Reform Church of Easton was founded during the earliest period of the settlement at "The Forks of the Delaware", and has been identified with the Borough and City of Easton throughout their entire history. The church was erected in 1776. It is the only public building in Easton remaining from the days of the Revolution; and for nearly half a century after its erection it was the only church building in the town. What is now known as "The City of Easton" was originally called "The Forks of the Delaware." By this name it was designated - by the Indians themselves.
