A query came up about the custom in KY of posting bonds for person's to be married. It was noted that both white and black marriages had bonds posted. And that the majority of individuals where under 21... Here are the questions: What was the law? (age, amount of bond, everyone or certain individuals) Who typically posted the bonds? (parents, plantation owner, etc) Was the bond returned, if so, are there records? Are there any references which would elaborate on the posting on bonds custom? We are researching the MILLION surname in Madison Co, KY: and our pages are at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwood/MAK-roots/Million/s-million.htm The city of MILLION, Madison Co, KY was named for our ancestor B B MILLION. We are also looking for more information on this obscure mention in two Madison Co, KY history books. I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.
