Transcriber's Notes:
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Henry Holmes to Comfort Carroon on 28 Apr 1791, Thomas Hopkins security; also
Robert Holms to Ann Tweedy on 6 Mar 1821, Richard Roughton security.
It is very possible that there are two different Henry Holmes included in this file since the estate appears to be settled in 1803
for one Henry Holmes. Also there are two different guardians of the children of Henry Holmes at the same time.
