Hi Chris & All ~ I'm also interested in the identity of J. Taylor as he appears on the following marriage bond in my family line: ORANGE CO., NC MARRIAGE BONDS: 14 Jan 1823: John Sharp - Deborah Fossett. Surety: Wm. Fossett. Witness: J. Taylor. John Sharp was born in Orange Co., NC, but moved with his parents to Rockingham Co., NC in 1807. John was a resident of Rockingham Co. in 1823, but bride Deborah FAUCETT, daughter of William Faucett, was an Orange Co., NC resident. Thanks, Francie
