5. Mrs. W.H. Whitley of Paris, Ky published "the Brides' Index to Bourbon County marriages" (not dated) in KENTUCKY ANCESTORS, beginning in 1979 (Vol 14,issue #3) through 1984 (Vol. 19, issue #3). Based on my own abstracts from the unpaged microfilms, this publication also omits some records and differs in other ways although, again, some records in this source, do not appear in the above 3 publications.
EXAMPLE: Mrs. Whitley's article includes the bond of John Robinson and Bridget Custard, bondsman was Sam Hinch. (Bond?) dated July 28,1787. The Cook publications list a marriage bond for James Robinson and Elpa Nisbit, bondsman: John Robinson, dated 28 Ju11787, the same date as the WHITLEY listing. The Giou publications lists the marriage as John ROBINSON and Custer BRIDGET (with BRIDGET being the surname), marriage also dated 28 Ju11787. My own abstracts found John ROBERTSON (but spelled ROBISON on the bond) and Bridget CUSTER, bond dated 22 Ju11787, married 28 Jul 1787. The marriage register (BOOK 1, pg 5) listed the bride's name as Bridget CARTER. Also I found the bond for James Wilson and Biddy CUSTER (microfilm Bourbon County loose papers 1797-1800, not paged) bond dated 20 April 1797, bondsman Jos. SINGLETON. This Wilson-Custer marriage is confirmed (although with the wrong date) in a Morgan Co., Ills biographical sketch of John Wilson, son of James and Bridget.
