Oh, so maybe the archivist was giving me incorrect info? We were talking very specifically about Orange County, and he was reading titles to me from what he said were marriage bond microfilm holdings for Orange County, and the dates started in 1752. I will just have to go sometime and find out for sure! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 1:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NCDOGS] Question Re Marriage Records in Orange County Ava, An excellent report. I just checked the Guide to Research Materials in the North Carolina State Archives, County Records. and the dates listed for Marriage Bonds for Orange County were1779-1794. Chowan County has bonds that start in 1747 - so it just depends on the county. Lynne Belvin **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
