North Carolina Marriage Bonds
1741-1868
Marriage bonds are statements of intent to marry that were attested by the
prospective groom before the clerk of court in the bride's county of residence.
Typically, one or more bondsmen signed as security for the forfeiture of the
penal sum (originally 50 pounds, increased to 500 pounds in 1778, and to one
thousand dollars in the nineteenth century) should the marriage not occur or
prove to be illegal. Most marriage bonds give the names of the groom, bride,
bondsmen and witnesses, the county in which filed and the date. If accompanied
by a certificate of marriage, the information may also include the date of
marriage, the name of the person performing the rites, and, towards the end of
the period, the names of parents.
The original bonds are on file in the Search Room of the North
Carolina State Archives. The listings are alphabetical. To find the
Allred bride or groom you are interested in, either scroll down through the list
or use the search feature on your browser tool bar. If you have any
trouble downloading or printing copies of the bonds you are interested in,
please let us know.
