Alternative McVeagh-Gordon marriage 1785

An alternative date of the marriage of  Thomas Gordon and Letitia McVeigh has also been found in the LDS records. I think the earlier one may be the civil marriage, a Presbyterian marriage or the license and the second is the official Anglican church marriage.
