C.f. doc Searched1:

Boveva Old Book. no Torrens appears in this record of the Presbyterian
Congregation of Boveva, except in a marriage Register (1761 - 1767). They
are really proclamations of Marriage, and the marriage itself is to be
presumed, as it is not stated.

"1761 March 8 Sam.l Haslet in con.n
                Elizebeth Torrens in ye p.h of Bovidie"

Hazlet was a member of Boveva Congregation, while the bride was in Boveedy
Congregation. There was no Parish of Boveedy. The reference is to the
parochial district which was equivalent to the congregational area or
district. See above (p.1) where Sam. Torrence appears as elder with the
minister of this congregation.
