Hi Russell, Thanks for the note. I don't have a definative answer, it could just be a transcription error. However it has been my understanding that there was often a delay in recording documents, and many early Texas marriages were also unofficial until the couple was "properly married" by a Catholic priest, who weren't always readily available. I have also read that similar problems occured in many of the U.S. territories, hence the need for Justice of the Peace petitions, and marriage bonds. Perhaps you can contact the manager of the site below and have your ancestors included on the list.
