Marriage Notes for WILLIAM BASSETT and MARGARET MCQUIDDY:

! LDS microfilm 0191840, Mercer County, Kentucky, Marriage Bond Book, 1786-1797; Loose Papers , 1786? 1794.

Also printed in the McQuiddy Family History, CH 63, pages 379-406

Handwritten note on one side of a sheet of paper: Know all men by these Presents that we William Bassett & John Mcquire are held & firmly bound unto Patrick Henry Esq Govr of Virginia i n the sum of fifty pounds Current Money to the payment Where of to be made to the said Govern or or his Successors We bind ourselves our Heirs Ex'ors Adm'ors jointly & severally firmly these presents Sealed with our seals & dated this 22nd day of November 1786. The Condition o f the above Obligation is such that [whereas a]* marriage shortly intended to be solemnized Between William Bassett & Margret Mcquidy for Which a Licence was issued now if there [be]** n o Lawful Cause to obstruct the Marriage then this Obligation to be Void or Else to Remain i n full. William Bassett {seal} John Mcquidy {seal}

Sealed & Delivered in Presence of John Warren.

* Illegible on original, so wording provided is from similar bonds found in same source.

** Word missing on original, word taken from other bonds in same source.

Handwritten on a separate scrap of paper: "I fully give my Consent for Mr. Wm Bassett to get licence to Marey my Daughter Marget given under my hand this 22 November 1786. Mary Mcquidey."

Mercer County Register, vol. 1, page 4 (LDS film 0192267) has: 1786, Nov. 22 - William Basset t + Margaret McQuiddy, by James Smith. But book Early Marriage Records of Mercer County, compiled by the Jane McAfee Chapter NSDAR, of Harrodsburg, Ky., shows: 1786, Nov. 22 - Bassett, W m. and Margt McGurdy, minister shown as Rice.

Note from Merritt Mullen (Desc. from Nancy ROE Bassett):" It is interesting that the Bond was made by William Basset and John Mcquire, but was signed by William Bassett and John Mcquidy . I suspect the Mcquire was just a mistake. The concent given by Margaret's mother, Mary, indicates that Margaret was underage and that her father was dead, both consistant with the data we have."

Note by Ronald Bassett: The 1829 Bassett family bible clearly states Wm & Peggy were married on 27 Nov. 1786. I will assume that they had to take out the marriage bond/license prior t o being married.

Children of WILLIAM BASSETT and MARGARET MCQUIDDY are:
