Nana, I checked the Warren County Marriage Bonds 1779-1868 (Book Index, actual Bonds are in Raleigh) and found NO record of the Marriage you seek. There is only one Wilks listed and her name was "Hannah B. Wilkes; married William H. Edwards; 27 May 1824" >From the Book Index Preface: "The Compilation was typed and the index of brides was made under the supervision of the Genealogical Society of Utah, 80 North Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah." Thus, I think it would be safe to say that your informant most likely was in error. Also from the Book index Preface: The original marriage bonds of Warren County, North Carolina, are in the archives of the North Carolina Historical Commission, Raleigh, North Carolina. They are filed alphabetically by the groom and may be consulted by the public." Hope this helps. Marriage Records in the Court House begin with the year 1867; the Bond Index Book must be used for earlier records. Alexs
