My previous note to the Caton List was so that the
ancestry.com
marriages in NC could be stored somewhere other than my disk. I really
don't know much about the ones I posted before. I just realized that I
never did post the ones that I thought I recognized. They are the
following, followed by my guess at the identity of each.
all of the following are from
ancestry.com NC Marriages 1741-1868
Bride: Charity Bland
Groom Moses Caton
Bond Date: 18 May 1803
Co: Craven
Record #: 01 060
Bondsman: James Jewell
Witness: S Chapman, Clerk of Court
Bond #: 000025273
This is the Moses and Charity that are related to the Wm, John, Solomon,
of NC. Don't know further
Marriage Bond for Charles Caton dated 27 Feb 1810 Caton, Charles &
Rebecah Weyatt John Stinchbomg, bondsman; Jn March Sr, Wit. from
McCubbins File in Rowan Co, NC. This came to me in a document with a
bunch of stuff about Charles and Jemima Summers Caton, cannot find the
source, but
ancestry.com had same bond as (note the switch between
bondsman and witness)

Bond Date: 27 Feb 1810
County: Rowan Co, NC
Record #: 01 057
Bondsman: John Stinchcomb
Witness: Jn March, Sr
Bond #: 000123487}
likely to be Charles the son of Charles and Jemima (Jemina) Summers
Caton whose full tree is all over the web, often with mistakes, but the
outline is 11 children b 1758-77, none of them Moses

Charles and Jemina's daughter Elizabeth elsewhere

Bond Date: XX Dec 1817
County: Rowan Co, NC
Record #: 01 057
Bondsman: John Hill
Witness: Roberts Nanny
Bond #: 000123491
possibly Charles and Jemina's son John, who gets referred to somewhere
else as Stephen, and who did supposedly marry a Susannah, but where did
I get that info??

Groom: John Hill
Bond Date: 30 Dec 1817
County: Rowan
Record #: 01 197
Bondsman: Stephen Caton
Witness: Robert Nanny
Bond #: 000125887
Thinks this is the same Stephen as bondsman, usually close kin of bride
or groom, so who's Sally Dedman? a daughter remarrying??

Record #: 01 057
Bondsman: Charles Caton
Witness: Jno MacEy
Bond #: 000123490 (available on microfilm from LDS for free, other than

to them by name

County: Rowan

too late to be Jesse the son as he is clearly in MO by this date (land
purchase and census) I believe this is John (Stephen?) Caton's son, thus
Chas' grandson

These last two are very late and of little direct interest to me, but
the Orrell connection was too much so I figured out the best guess for
him, son of Jesse Caton and Elizabeth Orrell, who had a son Orrell. How
many could there be?
