===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-HX-L@rootsweb.com From: "Helen" <Helenh@pdq.net> Subject: Lancaster County, Virginia - See some names The Marriage License Bonds of Lancaster County, Virginia from 1701 to 1848, Stratton Nottingham, 1927, 1996. Believed to be Out of Print! Softcover, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, 106 pages, separate bride's index. Per the publisher: "This long out of print collection of the oldest recorded Lancaster County marriage bonds furnishes, in each instance, the name of the groom, the maiden name of the bride, and the name of the surety (often a relative). The nearly 2,000 bonds are arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the groom, and a bride's index at the back of the volume makes for even greater convenience." Grooms surnames include: Alderson, Alexander, Alfred, Alford, Allison, Allen, Anderson, Angell, Angel, Arms, Ashbury, Ashburne, Ashbourn(e), Atwell, Bailey, Ballendine, Ball, Bannerman, Barnett, Barrett, Barrock, Barrick, Bayse, Batten, Beale, Beacham, Beane, Bean, Bell, Bee, Bennett, Berry, Berrick, Betts, Biscoe, Blakey, Blackmore, Bland, Blin, Blinco, Boatman, Bonawell, Bond, Booth, Bottoms, Bowles, Boyd, Braxton, Bradley, Bramham, Bradberry, Bradbury, Brest, Brent, Bridgman, Briscoe, Bristow, Brown, Brosier, Brockenbrough, Brumley, Bryan, Bryant, Buchan, Burwell, Burroughs, Burges, Bush, Callahan, Cammell, Cannaday, Carney, Carpenter, Cary, Carter, Carrell, ChichesterChichister, Chitwood, Chilton, Chinn, Chowning, Christian, Christopher, Church, Churchill, Clark, Clarke, Clephon, Coats, Coates, Cockarell, Coles, Coleman, Conally, Conerly, Conoly, Connellee, Connolly, Coppeage, Cornelius, Corbin, Cornish, Costollo, Cottrell, Covington, Cowles, Cowden, Cox, Craine, Creath, Creswell, Crittenden, Crow, Crowder, Crum, Crutcher, Cullenden, Crump, Cundiff, Curd, Curwell, Currell, Currill, Currie, Curtis, Cuthbert, Damron, Dameron, Daniel, Dance, Danson, Dandridge, Davenport, Davis, Dawson, Day, Deforrest, Degge(s), Denny, Dewbre, Dickie, Dies, Digges, Dillard, Dines, Dix, Dobbs, Dobbins, Dobyns, Dodson, Doggett, Dority, Douglass, Dove, Downing, Downman, Dozier, Driver, Dungan, Dunton, Dunaway, Dye, Eaton, Edmonds, Edwards, Elgar, Elliott, Ellett, England, Eubank, Eustace, Evans, Everett, Ewell, Fallin, Fauntleroy, Fendla, Fendlay, Ficklin, Filk, Fitzhugh, Flemming, Fleet, Flippo, Flippin, Flint, Flower(s), Foote, Ford, Forester, Forrester, Foster, Frazier, Francis, Frost, Fullington,...more next time. I will be happy to see if your surnames are in the book. This is not a quality book, in my opinion, and it was typed on an old manual typewriter of the times. To the best of my knowledge, I have spelled the names as written so far. But, for Lancaster County, Virginia marriage bonds during this time period, its the best we have.
