By: Stratton Nottinghm, Pub. 1927, Reprinted 2017, 108 pgs, Index, ISBN #0-89308-867-5. Lancaster county was created in 1651 from Northumberland & York counties, VA. This book should help those who had relatives living in the Eastern portion of the State with emphasis around the Chesapeake Bay area.

This long out-of-print collection of the oldest recorded Lancaster County marriage bonds furnishes, in each instance, the name of the groom, the maiden name of the bride, and the name of the surety (often a relative). The nearly 2,000 bonds are arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the groom, and a bride's index at the back of the volume makes for even greater convenience.

"The foundation for this work is the Muster of Jan 1624/25 which had never before been printed in full."--Page xiii, volume 1.
