1- Marriage certificate of Winston Marshall Carter (1868-1962) and Ida Sue Crews Carter (1875-1959). They were married on December 7, 1892 in Madison (Rockingham County), North Carolina, USA.
2- Remaining portion of the marriage bond from the Commonwealth of Virginia (Albemarle County) for Henry Carter (1761-1843) and Sarah White (1768-1848). Note that the currency in 1785 is still the pound and not the dollar. The amount of the bond is 50 pounds.
The text of the document is as follows:
Know all men by these presents that we Henry Carter and Jesse White are held and firmly bound unto the Commonwealth of Virginia in the Just Sum of Fifty pounds which payment well and truly to be made we bind ourselves jointly and severally our joint and several heirs firmly by these presents Sealed with our seals and dated this 13th day of Dec. 1785.
The Condition of this obligation is such that whereas there is a marriage suddenly to be solemnized between the above bound Henry Carter and Sarah White now if there be no Just cause to obstruct the same then this obligation to be void otherwise to remain in force.
