Agree with William... believe you are viewing a 'Form', but this may just be a blessing as someone on the list might have similar. Might contact the Franklin County Historical, they're next door to the court house, they may be able to help.

Neva; Dates would be crucial for any attempt at identification. Do you have any? Evidently there is a will for a William CANADA in Bedford Co. VA Will Bk 2, p. 52. Several publications show names interpreted as Canada, Kanada, Kannady, Keneday, and several more variations. It might take much work for you to pin down Who was Who in your 3rd gr-grandfather's generation and connect to the line you are now searching. The William Canada will was dated Dec 18, 1790 and an abstract states a wife was mentioned (not named), plus a son William. Also: daughters Mary Carey, Margret Hews, Jenit Sullivant, Elizabeth Martin, Isabella Key, Sarah Huddleston. Executors nominated were John Ayers and Henry Woody. Witnesses were John Ashwell, Elisha Burnit and Patrick Lynch. The will was probated in Bedford 28 Feb 1791 under the name William CANNADA. There's no mention of a daughter Nancy. Obviously this man had a son William we could call Jr., who, in turn, could have become known as Sr. and had his own son named William. You might want to review all names & dates & locations associated with your people and pay particular attention to the sources for same. Unless someone "hands you" the answer along with excellent documentation, you might have to try making eventual identifications by using other associated surnames (other than Allen) & begin to separate your precise line from others which just "seem like them".

Roy, I might get time to comment later but for now Robert Brooke was the Gov. of VA 1794-1796; per World Book Encyclopedia 1968, vol. UV, p. 328g.

The current discussion on the list concerning the nature of marriage bonds in Virginia has made me look again at my photocopy of the Franklin Co., Virginia bond for the marriage of Robert Bond to Anny Starkey, probably dated 15 OCT 1796.

The response from Paula Ward was just right on target and most helpful! Additional information & discussion is covered in Wm Wade Hinshaw, "Encyclo. of American Quaker Genealogy", and also in one or two other references I just can't seem to locate here anymore. I'll add my 2 cents for what its worth; Hening's Statutes on Laws of VA is the primary source for finding a law for a particular year or time period. It might be helpful to understand the legal purpose of a bond which, I believe, was to indemnify the County against future "loss" (lawsuits) that might result in the event the intended bride or groom lied about their age, were already married, had too close a blood relationship, or some other human complication that would have made the bond basically illegal. Anyone under the age of 21 whose father had died might have had a guardian for managing their inherited estate until they came of age. This seems to have been important for males who stood to inherit land. I've read that women under 21 who had been married previously were considered legal adults and required no consent or guardian. (true?) Women over 21 needed no consenting person. Sometimes bonds state the intended bride gave her own consent. Keep in mind there was no such thing as legal adoption until early 1900's. The term "orphan" was applied to minor children when their father died, even if the mother was still living. Which I take to mean such terms as "guardian" seen in earlier times often pertained to role of caretaker & manager of real & personal property - usually a male domain in those days. As for "witnesses to consent " I don't really know, except the person who actually gave "surety" was the one who pledged the money - even if NOT a close relative; and it would seem logical that another person would come to testify as to age, status, etc. to further convince the Clerk all was well. The words and phrases used by Clerks when they wrote reflected their personal styles and also the customary language of their location/region. For this reason we find variations in writing which tend to confuse us and we wonder if different language was purposeful. I've encountered a number of bonds where the "surety" turned out not to have been a parent even if same surname. When a parent is identified in a written bond we assume it wasn't a lie just to further the couples desire to marry. And so did the Clerks. Many Clerks were personally acquainted with folks in their own county, and were related to some. The old saying , "this and 2 cents will get you a cup of coffee", can be updated to "this and $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee!

Hi, Cousin Melissa, Your questions reminded me that I had previously posted some information about marriage laws in colonial Virginia, so I went hunting through all my e-mail folders, and I finally found it. Since you asked in particular about "consent" I have added more information relating to that: Marshall Wingfield, in his Introduction to "Marriage Bonds of Franklin County, Virginia 1786 - 1858" describes and/or quotes the laws governing marriage in colonial Virginia. I'm not quoting all of it, because it's very lengthy, but it is also very interesting. Remember that these early laws, when mentioning "church," really meant the Church of England. Beginning in 1631, a license granted by the Governor was required, "except the baynes of matrimony have been first published three several Sundays or holy days in the time of devyne service in the parish churches where the sayd persons dwell accordinge to the booke of common prayer...In every parish church within this colony shall be kept by the minister a book wherein shall be written the day and year of every Christeninge, weddings, and buriall." In 1705, either a license was required or the banns announced three times in the parishes of both parties. The license was issued by the clerk of the court "of that county where the feme shall have her usual residence..." The bond at that time was "fifty pounds, current money of Virginia." Here is the only mention of "consent:" The required age was 21 for both bride and groom. "...and if either of the persons intended to be married shall be under the age of one and twenty years, and not theretofore married, the consent of the parent or guardian of every such person under the age of one and twenty years shall be personally given before the said clerk, or signified under the hand and seal of the said parent or guardian, and attested by two witnesses..." There were other fees required: To the Governor, twenty shillings, or two hundred pounds of tobacco. To the Clerk of the County Court, five shillings or fifty pounds of tobacco. To the minister, if by license, twenty shillings or fifty pounds of tobacco. To the minister, for publishing banns and certifying the same, one shilling and sixpence, or fifteen pounds of tobacco. In 1748, any minister performing a marriage ceremony without the required marriage license, or without publication of banns, could be imprisoned (for each offense) one whole year and was fined five hundred pounds current money. In 1780, the General Assembly recognized the validity of marriages performed "by ministers other than those of the Church of England." This act specifically mentioned "any society or congregation of Christians, and...the society of Christians called Quakers and Menonists." Quakers, Menonists and Dunkards were not required to procure a license, publish banns or give bonds, though most of the members...conformed to the legal requirements. In all cases, the minister, or other church official, was required to report the marriage within three months to the clerk of the county. Wingfield comments: "Ministers of the Established church were at liberty to celebrate marriages under the authority of both banns and license. Banns constituted a legal substitute for a license. Marriages under licenses were recorded in the office of the County Clerk; those under banns in the Parish Register. Hence all Colonial marriages were not evidenced by Marriage Bonds filed with the County Clerk. The marriage fee under banns was just one fourth as much as the fee under license, hence it is reasonable to suppose that many couples were marriage by banns. Not many copies of the Parish Registers were delivered 'to the office of the secretary of this dominion' as the law required, hence genealogists must face the fact that many of the records of Colonial marriages are irrevocably lost." In 1858, no marriage bonds were given, but a "Certificate to Obtain a Marriage License" was required. =========== Hope this helps.

Why do only certain Virginia marriage bonds have the phrase "who consents" as part of the bond? Is this because one or the other person getting married was under a certain age? If yes, what age? I have noticed that although consent is most often given for daughters by a parent, not all females have a consent. Also, I have noticed that there is an occasional male that has someone giving consent (for example, the person giving consent is a guardian). Why also is it that some bonds have a "witness to consent"? or even if consent is given, has the phrase "who testifies ..(each, both, she/he).. is of age? What were the laws for getting marriage bonds in Virginia prior to the 1850s? Thank you for any help in deciphering these bonds!

I don't have any of the Bashams that you mention, but several of my Wright ancestors of Bedford County married Bashams. There also seem to be some Asberrys in the mix. You might check some of those names in Bedford County.

Am searching for information on John BASSHAM/BASHAM & Jane PETERS, who were married on 4 September 1848 in Fayette County, VA/WV. I have no other confirmed or documented info for this couple. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any information you may have or for any guidance you may render. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com

Sorry I know nothing about your family, but just happened to have a couple of books open on the desk and took a quick look. Franklin Co. was cut off from Bedford in 1785/6 but Goose Creek is and was still in Bedford. The earliest Basham I found was in this deed: Bedford Co. VA Deed Bk C-3: Peter Holland deed to Jesse Womack 400 acres on both sides Shoulder Camp Run on N Fork of Stoney Fork of Goose Cr. witnesses: Wm Hix Wm Basham. Nov. 24 1767. These Marriage Bonds were made in Franklin Co. before your Anderson B. was born: Franklin Co. VA, Marriage Bonds: Basham, William, and Anna Meador, dau. Jesse Meador, Dec 4 1797 Basham, John, and Frank Meadors. Jesse Meador, surety. Jan 13 1804 Basham, Uriah, and Rhoda Simmons, dau. Chas. Simmons. May 27, 1804 There is a huge pile of information on "Meador" in Bedford records. I didn't see any Basham Wills listed in Franklin County up through 1812. This is all from published information, so needs verification and additional searching in the Court Houses to make sure you have everything available as of this date.
