I found the query about marriage bonds - and the resulting answers to be
quite interesting.
I also perked up when I saw the name Joseph Smith.
I'm looking for evidence for a Joseph P. Smith and possibly Susan,
parents of my gggrandfather Nathan D. Smith who was born in Hunterdon
County in 1830. I have the names of his parents from his death
certificate but know nothing else about them. From the dates Darwina
provides for her Joseph Smith, he is probably earlier than mine...but
does anyone see a family connection or have anything about a Joseph P.
Smith b. abt 1800, poss. in Bethlehem Twp area?
I know there are several Smith families of Hunterdon...does anyone have a
comprehensive genealogy for them?
thanks,
Marilyn



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
