No impediment to the marriage arose. The newlyweds stated that they had made no prenuptial agreement between them. This document was read aloud to the declarants and witnesses. The declarants and witnesses so not know how to write

Despite the fact that this record lists the parents of Mateusz Chodkowski as Józef and Anna Chodkowski, his parents were actually Jan Chodkowski and Józefata Grzybowska, as evidenced from other documents, including Mateusz’s death record.
