  Marriage Bond for James Robertson and Sarah Burton This is a Marriage Bond, it is not a marriage record. A Bond was an indication of an intention to marry, but we have found no record for this marriage taking place. Bondsman was Thomas Westmoreland.

  
  

• Notes

  Our Robison 'family lore' holds that James and Sarah died, and the children were parceled out to be raised by relatives. We did find their four children in the 1850 US Census living with four different families, including Robert, our ancestor, living with Sarah Burton's uncle Robert Burton and his wife Lucy. And while James Robertson had clearly not died, the fact that Robert's son John wrote "Deceased was orphaned at the age of four" on Robert's death certificate leads us to conclude that Sarah Burton died in 1837, the same year James promised to marry Ruth Young. So no time for mourning.
