"The account of the wedding was written by Father Leander Lusson, priest of the church at the time of the marriage.
"The account says:
"'On March 2, 1800, have appeared before me, Frere Leander Lusson, recollect priest and pastor of St. Charles parish in Missouri, Daniel Morgan Boone, the legitimate and oldest son of Daniel Boone and Rebecca Bryan his lawful wife, living at St. Charles, Mo., on the one side; and on the other Sara Griffin Lewis, a younger and legitimate daughter of John Baptist Lewis and Elizabeth Harvey his lawful wife, her parents living at the port of St. Andrew. The which parties have declared to me their intention to bind themselves with the mutual pledge of marriage. After giving their oath on the Holy Bible to answer truthfully to all the points on which I must interrogate them, they have consented to answer.
"'Being asked what religion they professed, the said Daniel Morgan Boone said he was a Presbyterian, and the said Sara Griffin Lewis said that she professed the Protestant religion. Being asked if they would promise to bring the children born of this union to the church of the place near their future dwelling to be baptised, and send them to be instructed in religion, they answered "Yes."
"'Being asked if their parents were related within the forbidden degrees, so that according to their religion they could not contract marriage, they answered "No." Being asked from what country they came, the said Daniel Morgan Boone replied that he was a native of Virginia, in the diocese of Baltimore, and that he was living here with his parents; and the said Sara Griffin Lewis replied that she was likewise a native of Virginia, and that she lived with her father and mother.
" 'Being asked whether their parents gave their consent to their marriage, their fathers and mothers, being present, answered, "Yes Sir." Being asked if they had been constrained by violence or threats or by force of authority to pledge their troth in marriage, they answered, "No Sir."
"'After the aforesaid information and after the publication of the bans on eight consecutive Sundays at the door of our Church of St. Charles, and also at the house of Mr. Mackay, Commandant of the said village and post of St. Andrew, the said Daniel Morgan Boone has, in my presence, taken the said Sara Griffin Lewis for his lawful wife, and pledged to her his marriage vow. And in return the said Sara Griffin Lewis has taken the said Daniel Morgan Boone for her lawful husband, and has plighted to him her troth. And I have received their mutual consent, and united them in the bonds of matrimony.' "
