Etta, You probably have this, however, I did not know if you have all the information it contains: North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Viewing records 1-1 of 1 Matches North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Bride: Mary G Newton Groom: Ruben Newton Bond Date: 23 Dec 1815 County: Person Record #: 01 112 Bondsman: John G Neuton Witness: Ira Lea Bond #: 000108473 That is from Ancestry. There are other Ruben Newtons listed on census' but none from Kentucky or North Carolina, and not with the correct spouse or parents. Notice the name of the bondsman? Maybe his name is misspelled and he is a relative or maybe you have it spelled wrong. Conniesue --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
