| Notes |
- James Bleakley and Robert Devin make bond of 50 pounds current money on 12.January.1791 for the marriage of James Bleakley and Elizabeth Smith. Bond witnessed by William Tunstall, Jr.
- Elizabeth Smith consented for herself on 11.January.1791 and consent was witnessed by Joseph Akin.
- Married by Richard Elliott.
- This record is added to Devin Timber because James Bleakley appears many times in other Devin records, and Elizabeth Smith may be related to Sarah Smith, wife of William Devin, Sr.
- Transcribed by David Devin on 28.May.1999 from a photocopy of Pittsylvania County Marriage Bonds Book 1 page 14. The spelling, capitalization, and puncuation are as they appear in the handwriting. Text in square brackets [ ] are the comments of the transcriber. My appologies in advance for any mistakes interpreting the handwriting.
