- The Marriage Bonds Book #1 is badly deteriorated and unavailable to the general public. The photocopy is from a loose file photocopy of a reconstructed page in the Pittsylvania County Courthouse. The page reference comes from the Marriage Index book at the Courthouse. I cannot be sure the reconstructed page is a true copy of the original page.
- Transcribed by David Devin on 28.May.1999 from a photocopy of Pittsylvania County Marriage Bonds Book 1 page 51. 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.
