It's really nice to be able to find the marriage bond for your great-great-great-great grandparents, in this case Elijah Kirtley and Ann Bohannon. It would also be nice to actually see a marriage record.
Elijah and Ann were the parents of about 7 children. Their middle child was Sarah Ann Kirtley, who married Dr. John Stearns Percival. I had a clue delivered to me in the form of Sarah Ann Kirtley Percival Webb's (second husband was Lewis Webb) headstone, where it states she is the daughter of Elijah and Ann Kirtley.
The last piece, on the bottom, included with the marriage bond is the permission from Ann's father, Elliot Bohannon.
