Subject: [NJHUNTER] Marriage Bonds

I think there was a question about Marriage Bonds earlier and I may have
missed an answer in the rush of the holidays.

I have a marriage bond with JOSEPH SMITH and JOB (could be Lyons or
Sayer) both of County of Hunterdon "do stand justly indebted" etc....
Joseph Smith hath obtained Licence of Marriage for himself of the one
Party, and for Mary Bonham of the other Party; ........Date Nov 4 1769.

What is the signifigance of the Job (Lyon or Sayer or ?) ?? What is the
purpose of such a bond?????

Grateful for any guidance in interpreting this record.

Best wishes,
Darwina Michael
