KNOW all men by these presents, that we Henry Fister and Henry Severt are held and firmly bound unto His Excellency James Monroe Esquire, Governor of Virginia, and his successors, for the use of the Commonwealth, in the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, to which payment well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators jointly and severally, firmly by these presents. Sealed and dated this 14th day of February 1811 in the 38 year of the Commonwealth. THE condition of the above obligation is such, that whereas a marriage is shortly intended to be soleminized between the above bound Henry Fister and Caty Severt of Rockingham county, if therefore, there shall be no lawful cause to obstruct the said marriage, then the above obligation to be void; otherwise, to remain in full force and virtue.

Signed, sealed and delivered
in the presence of Henry X Fister (Seal)
Teste Thomas Lewis
Henry X Severt (Seal)


Both Catharine Siever and Philip Siever were children of John and Mary "Polly" (Swank) Siever. So, Henry Siever must have been a relative, who obligated the marriage bond.
