The introduction to this CD says:
Introduction
County marriage records from the "Hunting For Bears" collection.
This collection represents information originating on courthouse
marriage licenses in various counties. In some cases the date
listed is the date of the license rather than the actual date of the
marriage.
The information on this CD is extracted from original county records,
not from a microfilm set. To obtain additional information regarding
a marriage, please contact the appropriate county clerk. In some
cases counties may have had their records microfilmed and the records
may be available at your local genealogical library.
Every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of the data contained
in this collection; however, it is still possible for errors to occur.
The researcher is encouraged to use this material as a lead to obtain
the actual records in order to ensure complete accuracy in genealogical
research.
It has also been found that a few entries have been truncated. For
example, 'Alexander' may be listed as 'Alexande'.

I list the above to prove that this listing came from actual county records and not
from submissions as some of their data does.
Note: At one time I believe the Carolina's were part of VA.
Could it be
that these were really VA Marriages?
According to the
A COMPUTERIZED VERSION OF
THE HANDY BOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
8TH EDITION
Surry county, North Carolina, where this marriage was recorded was established in 1770
from Rowan County. Rowan County, N.C was established in 1753 from Anson county.
Anson county was established in 1750 from Bladen county. These marriages are not
Virginia marriages.
In your answer to Emma you said:
The Esabela Carnahan seems to be Isabella Carnahan (need
clarification on
your spelling) daughter of James Carnahan and Mary Polly Lavender.
Isabella was b: 1829 in Wythe Co VA d: ?
Married to William B. Barnett b: 1833 in SC.
Anyone who can clarify the difference in spelling and the missing death
dates please let me know.
Where does this information come from? what source can we use to trace the
marriage you listed back to the parents James Carnahan and Mary Polly
Lavender? If we can do that and perhaps get a copy of the original document,
we can prove all the connects and the spelling of the brides name.
