Bondsmen were often family members or close friends. Marriage bonds insured that the marriage would occur according to agreement and that there was no impediment to the marriage such as an existing marriage. Executor's bonds insured that the executor of a deceased person's estate would administer the estate according to law. Bail bonds insured that the accused would appear for trial. Bastardy bonds might be required of the father of an illegitimate child to insure that he would be responsible for the child's support. Professional bonds are similar to today's malpractice insurance. More tips on my This and That Genealogy Page, url below. THIS & THAT GENEALOGY TIPS
