Yes, Charlottesville is definitely in the thick of it for our family. I got the document on this page on the phone from there:
The text of it is as follows:
Know all men by these presents that we Henry Carter and Jesse White are held and firmly bound unto the Commonwealth of Virginia in the Just Sum of Fifty pounds which payment well and truly to be made we bind ourselves jointly and severally our joint and several heirs firmly by these presents Sealed with our seals and dated this 13th day of Dec. 1785.
The Condition of this obligation is such that whereas there is a marriage suddenly to be solemnized between the above bound Henry Carter and Sarah White now if there be no Just cause to obstruct the same then this obligation to be void otherwise to remain in force.
Test,
Nicholas Lewis Just.
