The following marriage bonds are located in the North Carolina Archives, according to the Lincoln County Register of Deeds. These bonds were filed with Lincoln County, but they occurred before Lincoln County existed. These bonds are not located in the Lincoln County Register of Deeds office.

Not all marriages required a marriage bond or license. If the couple had the "banns" posted in their church for three consecutive times and no one came forward providing reason why the marriage should not be allowed, a marriage bond wasn't required. Do not assume that because a bond cannot be located the couple weren't married.
