Notes:
* "Surety for the marriage bond was provided by Peter Scrum and James Dickson served as witness." from Larry Kraus' web site. Rutherford/Lincoln County, North Carolina
* Catherine ACORD Never married.
"In March 1837 her brother John Acord was appointed her guardian "for the term of the insanity ... or until she becomes of sound mind." Among the inventory of her estate was mostly clothing and one bedstead. This seems to indicate that she was still living with her parents. Perhaps she had been mentally unstable from childhood and her parents became to old to care for her (Cornelius would have been 77 when John was appointed guardian). However, her estate also included 21 notes owed to her amounting to more that $300 ($7,725 in year 2000 dollars). This is more than her parent's estate returned in 1846. This raises an important question. How did Catherine, unmarried and living with her parents, earn enough money to make these loans? Her estate was returned in September 1838 and John was released from this guardianship bond in October 1838. She may have returned to the home of her parents. In 1839 they died and in 1840 she was head of her household in Roane County. It appears that by September 1840 she migrated to Alabama, perhaps to join her brother Joseph. By 1847 she migrated to De Kalb County, Alabama where she lived when she bought 36.8 Acres of land in Jackson County, Alabama (on the eastern side of the Tennessee River in the middle southern portion of the county) and apparently moved there. In 1850 she purchased an additional 40.82 acres of land in Jackson County near the border with Madison County in the southern part of the county)." from Larry Kraus' web site.
