Book Description

By: Cora Bass, Pub. 2001, Reprinted 2015, 150 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-521-9. Even though Duplin county was created in 1749, the marriages from 1749-1754 are missing. The marriage bonds for this book cover the time frame 1755-1868. These bonds were required by the clerk of courts in which the bride-to-be resided in. These bonds were issued before issuing a license to the prospective bridegroom and his bondsman, usually a close friend or relative.
