A digital image of the license has been provided by Kelly Miller-Collins.
Clay's age in May 1884 was recorded as 36 years. In answer to a question intended for the groom on the back of the license, "Age at next birthday," the number 37 was written. The answers to the questions on the back of the license appear to be in the same hand as the signature given by Clay H. Lynch.
Based on calculations from these facts, Clay would have been born about 1847-1848.
