1 Marriage Record of the German Reformed Church, 1748-1802, Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Volume 8. These records were taken from Clarence M. Busch, Record of Pennsylvania Marriages, Prior to 1810, Volume I (1895). They are on-line at http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/1pa/paarchivesseries/series2/vol8/pass818.html. Another on-line source for the Baur/Ries marriage is http://www-personal.umich.edu/~dawnbare/Bare_PAbyCo.txt (this is a collection of research notes and you will need to do a search for the Baur/Ries marriage). The latter source included the country of origin. This information has been confirmed by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, which reviewed the original record.
