An Act for the relief of Daniel Daughtertry

Whereas, Daniel Daughtertry, of the county of Craven, lately
intermarried with Jane L. Davis, also of said county, and at the
time of said marriage the father of said Jane L. was not living;
and it being ascertained subsequent to said marriage, that at the
time of the celebration thereof, said Jane L. was not quite of age
of fifteen years, the said Daniel being thereby subject to all the
pains, penalties, disabilities and forfeitures according to the
act of Assembly in such cases provided; and it appearing that said
marriage took place with the full and free consent of the mother
and all the immediate family of said Jane L., and that the same
is an eligible match, and the said feme covert possesses but a
small estate, consisting principally of lands, and that her interest
will be greatly promoted by releasing her said husband of the pains,
penalties, disabilities and forfeitures aforesaid:

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, 
and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That said
Daniel Daughtertry be, and he is hereby relieved, discharged, and
exempt from all the pains, penalties, forfeitures and disabilities
under the provisions of the act of Assembly, Revised Code, chapter
68, sections 10 and 11, incurred by reason of his marriage with 
said Jane L. before she was of the age of fifteen years; and that 
the said Daniel have and enjoy all the rights, legal and equitable,
as husband of said Jane L., as he would have done had said marriage
been solemnized after the said Jane L. had arrived at the age of
fifteen years.

Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That this act be in force from and
after its ratification.

[Ratified the 31st day of January, 1861]
