Marriage Bonds Lincoln Co NC

HAAS / HASS

Tyron & Lincoln Counties NC

If this is your first encounter with the records of NC please be aware that the clerks spelled names in any and all ways, even within the same document. You will not be able to use the "find" key in these abstracts. You need to look at each name.

Please Note: I am NOT researching the Ikard Name in NC. I was helping an Ikard Researcher who is no longer active in genealogy.

The following Marriage Bonds were abstracted from a book: Tyron & Lincoln County NC Marriages LDS Call # 975,678 V25b while I was in Salt Lake City at the LDS Library in Feb 1988. I did not write down the name of the author to this book and have yet to finish what I started. This was the last thing I looked at before leaving for the airport and I ran out of time to transcribe the information found on everyone. At the bottom of the list you will find only the names of the bride and groom. The author of this book wrote a wonderful and clear explanation of the formation of Lincoln County and Marriage Bonds.

"Marriage Bonds were first required in NC by the Act of Apr 4, 1741. This Act provided that "every clergyman of the Church of England or for want of such, any lawful Magistrate, within this Government shall .... join together in the holy estate of matrimony, such persons who may lawfully enter into such a relation, and have complied with the directions, herein after contained .... No Minister or Justice of the Peace .. shall celebrate the rites of matrimony .. without license .. or thrice publication of the banns as prescribed by the rubrick in Book of Common Prayer." License must be issued by the Clerk of the County Court of the county were the feme shall have her usual residence. The prospective groom, in order to obtain this license, must make a bond with sufficient security in the sum of fifty pounds proclamation money, with the condition that there is no lawful cause to obstruct the marriage; if either of the persons should be under the age of twenty one years, consent of the parent or guardian must be had."

The author goes on to describe the changes to this original proclamation and notes that if the banns were published, as proscribed in this Act, then there is no marriage bond nor license found in the county records. This probably accounts for the many marriages that are known to have taken place that cannot be located in the records.

LDS Call # 975.678 V25b - TRYON & LINCOLN CO NC: MARRIAGES

The bonds herein abstracted are all that are on file in the Court House in Lincolnton. There are more than 6000. As the bonds are many of them crumbling with age, it is earnestly urged that they not be taken from the files, unless the handwriting is important for some reason.

EXPLANATION of abstract: Names are spelled precisely as they are spelled in the bond, if the writing is legible. The spelling given first is that of the signature if any and if legible. If the signature is omitted or is illegible the Clerk's spelling is given. Variant spellings in the bond are shown in parentheses, The bride did not sign the bond therefore all brides names are the spelling of the clerk.

In abstracting the bonds it should also be noted the following letters are frequently indistinguishable in the bonds .. e,i,c ... s,r . . u,n,ie,or . . t,l . . m,mn,en,in ... and the capital letters S,L,T,F,J,L, so it strongly urged that all possible and, seemly impossible, variations be checked
