!MARRIAGE BOND:24 Sep 1851 Macon Co, NC Hiram CLARKE & Martha EVANS, (no bondsman), married 24 Sep 1851 by Thomas MASHBURN, JP;

!NOTE:Could Martha Evans be Martha Garland who married THomas M. Evans in 1835 in Macon (lived in Pickens SC in 1840, no other data); Garland researchers have told me that they can't find this couple, so if Thomas died, and Martha remarried, that might explain the mystery;
