Hi, I am a new subscriber and am interested in finding the marriage bonds for: 1, Solomon NETTLES and Margaret.. maiden name unknown.. Solomon and family were found in Haywood Co, in the 1810 Census. While the NETTLES are in Haywood Co. in 1810 Census, the JUSTICE family are in the Buncombe Co. 1810 Census. 2. Amos JUSTICE and Mrs. Margaret NETTLES: By May 1813, Solomon is deceased, and widow marries Amos JUSTICE by 1824. Nettles heirs appoint Amos as guardian in a 1824 document. 3. John D. JUSTICE to Sarah NETTLES.. [mar. 1820-1824] One of the Nettles girls [Mary] marries Wm. STICE in Rutherford Co. [1818], and Amos JUSTICE's parents and siblings are found there as well. Any help or direction in finding these marriage bonds is appreciated!

Can someone tell me what the following statement on the 1860 slave schedule means: "Fugitives from the state"? it's listed after age, sex, and color on the slave schedule, and so far I've noticed that many slaves per page have a check in that column, and most of them are young children, babies to age 18. A few are adults. But I'd like to know if it means something other than that those particular slaves ran away. Thanks!
