I need help! In the marriage bonds for NC, there is Nancy WEBB married Robert HANEY 12/21/1821; bondsman was Jonathan WEBB, JP was Alfred WEBB. Robert HANEY is my ancestor, son of Robert HANEY Sr and Elisabeth BAILEY who came to Ruth Co abt 1785 from SC. Robt. Jr was born 7/30/1792. North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 Bride: Nancy Webb Groom: Robert Haney Bond Date: 28 Dec 1821 County: Rutherford Record #: 01 127 Bondsman: Johnathan Webb Witness: Alfred Webb, Justice of the Peace Bond #: 000133925 Is there a minimum age for marriage in NC then? I found Nancy WEBB HANEY remarried in AL to a John Edmoundson/Edmundson, and on the 1860 Census she was with her new husband and age was 54. This would make her born abt 1805-06. If she married Robert HANEY she would have been abt 15-16 in 1821. Since the bond shows a JP who must have officiated, would that mean there was no church marriage or that she was underage and needed parental consent? Was Alfred WEBB related to her? Does anyone know if the marriage bonds contain ages of the bride and groom? Since Robert HANEY was born 7/30/1792, this would make him almost double her age in 1821 (age 29) if she were born 1805-6. Is this not unusual? Does anyone have info on Jonathan WEBB or Alfred WEBB in Rutherford CO? Any church, cemetery info in the area for WEBB names? Thank you. I did locate a Jonathan WEBB on the 1810 Census in Rutherford CO with a female under age 10. There was also a Nancy WEBB living alone, age bet 16-25. Just wonder how they tie together. Thanks for any help! Diana in AL seeking HANEY, WEBB

Alfred Webb, born about 01 Feb 1800 in the Old Tryon area of NC became a Baptist preacher of some note, both in NC and, later, in Georgia. He was pastor to my ancestors and their cousins both in NC and in Georgia, and at least one of his and one of his wife's siblings married into my dad's family. I do not show Nancy as being one of his siblings, but I have only tried to verify my part of his family. Hope this helps.
