Penobscot County, Maine was established 15 Feb 1816 as Maine's 9th county and the last one created prior to Maine's separation from Massachusetts. These two volumes give all marriage returns for the county up to 1892 - a period of immense growth in the county due to the timber boom and the growth of Bangor. Ruth Gray's exacting standards are already well known to Maine researchers from her editing of early volumes of the popular Maine Families series, and
from her Abstracts of Penobscot County Maine Probate Records 1816-1883. This title together with the Abstracts,offers genealogical researchers the bulk of the answers they need from the county. Highly recommended!
