Does anyone know if there were rules or laws governing who could function as surety for a marriage in 1842? Did they have to be a certain age? Did they have to put up a bond? Did they have to be a relative? Thank you, Eldon mailto:ewade@cfl.rr.com Researching surnames: Hames (SC,GA,AL), Jaquess Jaquish Jaques (TN,AL), Wade (SC,GA,AL)
