  	The couple entered into a covenanted marriage agreement on 10 June 1661 in Concord. The marriage would have been executed by a local magistrate at a private home, as early Massachusetts law stated that marriage was a civil contract, not a religious sacrament. In fact, it was against the law for a minister to marry a couple until 1686.
