Larry Brandon collected almost all the marriage bonds for this family. I viewed most at the courthouse with Larry himself or copies in Larry's huge books at the Danville library.

The bondsmen are the key, usually dad or brothers. I did not copy this one but made notes with Larry's verification, so I cannot tell you who went bond. Maybe Larry will jump in. I also have the notation she married "with her own consent," i.e. not a minor. (That changed the birth est. date I'd had for her.)

And you're off by a year. Their Halifax marriage bond was dated Dec. 14, 1794 and they presumably married shortly after. She is the daughter of Francis and Eleanor Richmond Brandon and is called Caty in her father's will.

You can probably solve this quickly by simply contacting the courthouse for a copy.
