I was at my archives, in Cleveland county looking at them . I will try to look again. Seems it just listed her name, no other name. I think she must have been paying her own bond. Is that possible? I am not sure if she did or her father did. I just know one was filed 1820's before she married Jacob Wolf in 1825 in Rutherford County. I appreciate it so much if you can help me. I have written to you private to explain why. A great big thanks for writing me. Melanie Malone
