Sue, you asked the question just before I did. Was a bondsmen required for persons getting married that were younger than a certain age (15 maybe)? Harold in Florida Researching Wilson in VA, W.Va., KY, OH.

I don't think it had anything to do with age. I think it was to keep the bride from being jilted! The bondsman guaranteed that the groom would carry through with the marriage. Maybe someone knows more specifics about it than I do, though. Barbara At 06:57 PM 6/12/03 EDT, you wrote: >Sue, you asked the question just before I did.
