9.  Letter enclosing marriage bond


[7 Oct 1845]
				Statesville 7th Oct 1845
Dear Sir
	Enclosed you will find the marriage bond of Captain Dickey.  The 
reason it was not found sooner is, that he was married by Major Thomas Harris 
who then lived in Mecklenburg N. C. not far from Capt Dickeys house in Iredell 
Co.  They went there & got married.  Some years afterward Majr Harris put up 
new buildings a few hundred yards from the old house but on the Iredell side 
of the line.  Mrs. Dickey had forgotten this circumstance which as soon as it 
came to my knowledge was looked into & I found the bond in the office in 
Mecklenburg Co where it ought to have been.  I [?] had proven Capt. Dickey 
hand write & herewith inclose this leaf with Judge Pension's certificate.  not 
that it now be of any use but for the reason that it must be made 
satisfactory.   [?] the [?] I could I think provide the hand writing by two 
other living witnesses.  Mr. Barringer will probably write you on the subject.
				Respectfully yours
				W. F. Cowan
