From the Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Va. "Daniel White and
Margaret Caldwell, July 27, 1780. Thomas North Jr. surety. Consent of George Caldwell,
father of Margaret."
Apparently, Daniel and Margaret fell out of love
shortly thereafter. A month later another marriage bond dated Aug 29, 1780, says:
"James Richardson and Margaret Caldwell. surety James Richardson. Consent of George
Caldwell. This is to inform you the match is broak [sic] off between my daughter Margaret
and Daniel White. Please to grant James Richardson a license. I am Sir, your Humble
servant. signed George Caldwell." end quote
So, old George was determined to marry off his daughter and true love prevailed.
