This is their marriage bond. Allen signed at the bottom right with a circle around his name. The bondsman was Allen’s brother John W. Whittenton. At that time, some people spelled the name Whittington, others Whittenton. This document includes both spellings! Source: North Carolina, Marriage Records, 1741-2011, Allen A.
