Very nice work again Charmaine! I did not have this marriage bond info, but what you have found fits what I have. Plus you have found more, that Jesse Thompson md. Rachel Welch. I don´t have a James Thompson. I have no idea who Henry Rader was. To you, and to any and all here, I can provide copies of what is known about the Nathan Thompson family, bible records and extended family records if you are interested (these are JPEG files and fairly large, unfortunately). I am going to go ahead and list what I know about the Children of Nathan Thompson and Esther Black and their marriages, data combined from refs. 1 & 2)and in an abbreviated version as a number of generations are included in the refs.: 1) Elizabeth (b. 23 Feb 1786, Lincoln Co. NC and d. Aft 1870, Macon Co. NC), md. 23 Jul 1831, Macon Co. NC, Uriah "Ute" Sherrill (b. ca. 1754, NC; d. 1838, NC). Uriah was son of Samuel, Sr. and Mary Preston? There were no children by this marriage. (I (LP) think that Uriah had children by a previous marriage, as there was a Uriah Sherrill in Coffee Co. TN). 2) Mary "Polly" D. (b. 18 Dec 1787; d. 10 Apr 1832, Haywood Co. NC) md. 11 Aug 1820, Haywood Co., NC, Alexander Crisp (b. 1797; d. 1870, Cherokee Co. NC). Alexander Crisp was son of Bray Crisp. They had 3 children all b. Haywood Co. NC: Rachel b. 1826 md. William McConnell: Nathan b. 1826 md. Jane Crisp and Miller b. 1829 md. Nancy Crisp. And yes, Nathan and Jane did marry spouses named Crisp. 3) Samuel (b. 15 Mar 1790, Rutherford Co. NC) 4) Thomas (b. 6 May 1792, Rutherford Co. NC). And this is not in the refs. But it is correct that he md. Nancy Enloe. 5) Nathan Byers (b. 26 Feb 1795, Rutherford Co. NC) md. ? and children ? Ref. 2 says there was one son, William B. Thompson who md. a Jane UNK. 6) Jane (b. 24 Apr 1797, Rutherford Co. NC) - is my Jane Thompson who md. an UNK Sellers 7) Esther Eliza (b. 15 Mar 1800, Buncombe Co. NC; d. 1863, Swain Co. NC) md. 20 Nov 1823, Haywood Co. NC, Joel Alexander Sawyer (b- 1800 Greenville SC and d. 13 Jan 1866 Swain Co. NC). Joel Sawyer was son of William, Sr. and Elizabeth Crisp. They had 10 children: William Hamilton b. 8 Aug 1824 Haywood NC md. Elizabeth Jane Welch; Sarah A. "Sally" b. 25 Feb 1826 Haywood Co NC md. Adolphus Burton Welch; Esther Eliza b. 1829 md.

Margaret Jane "Peggy" Stillwell; Samuel B. "Solomon" b. 1843 never md.; James Lovel b. 9 Mar 1848, Macon Co. NC md. Roxanna "Roxie" Paralee Ashe. 8) Ruth Richardson (b. 6 Oct 1802, Buncombe Co. NC; d. 15 Jun 1872 NC) md. 26 Jan 1832 Joseph Buchanan (1794-1880). Joseph Buchanan was son of James and Martha Black (Martha was sister of Esther Black).

There are several marriages listed in Haywood and Macon Co., NC for Thompsons who fit the bill to be children of Nathan Thompson. I haven't worked this Thompson connection to a great degree in connection with a number of the other families who moved from Burke/Rutherford and are found living near each other, intermarrying. Haywood Co., NC marriage bonds: 7 Jan. 1815 Thomas Thompson and Nancy Enloe - bondsman: Asaph Enloe (this is the "Sersop" Enloe who is listed 2 households from Nathan Thompson and next to James Sellers on the 1830 Haywood Co., NC census) 11 Aug 1820 Polly [Mary] Thompson and Alexander Crisp bondsman; Jacob Shuler (note Shuler's are neighbors of Nathan Thompson in 1830 Haywood and 1840 Macon Co., NC) 20 Nov 1823 Esther Thompson and Joel Sawyer bondsman: Alexander ? - think this is Alexander Crisp. You mention this marriage - interesting side here, one son of this marriage, Nathan Thompson Sawyer married a daughter of William Cathey. William Cathey followed the same basic migratory route. He was the son of George Cathey, Jr. George Cathey, Jr and his family were in Burke Co., NC 1790, moved into Buncombe 1800 (area which became Haywood in 1808, then into Haywood. William Cathey moved into Macon Co.) 30 Jan 1824 James Thompson and Betsy Wilkins 25 Feb. 1825 Jesse Thompson and Rachel Welch bondsman: Nathan Thompson Macon Co., NC marriage bonds: 3 Jul 1831 Elizabeth Thompson and Ute Sherrel bondsman: Andrew Welch (note that Jesse Thompson had married a Rachel Welch in Haywood in 1825). This is Nathan's daughter who appears living in his household in 1840 Macon Co., NC - Elizabeth Sherrill age 64 born Lincoln Co., NC. Any idea who the 14 year old Henry Rader, born Burke Co., NC is in this household in 1840 Macon Co., NC. Is it possibly a grandson? No listing for a Thompson (sometimes also spelled Thomasson) and Sellers marraige in either county, not Burke or Rutherford counties either. Possibly the marriage took place in Buncombe Co (Buncombe still hasn't any marriage bond records available on line, and Buncombe still hasn't published any source material) Or, the bond was damaged or destroyed and didn't survive. Or was by bann instead of bond.
