A scanned copy of the marriage bond for Daniel Nichols and Mary Alexander which I printed while visiting the the Archives in Frankfort, KY
(I was going through the ream of paper tonight that I had gathered on my research trip and found the marriage bond copy again). It's not the greatest
copy in the world, but then again it's from 1790! I would be happy to mail a copy to everyone.
