  • Notes 
    • Rhonda Isebelle Johnson, wife.

       

      John Sutherland was a bondsman for Ceclia (Celia) Pendleton/Pennington.

      She married Reuben Canute Cornett. These people were all in the samegeneration. A bondsma n could either be a friend to the bride or groom,or a bondsman could be a person who hel d a loan note. I do not knowwhich type of bondsman John Sutherland was, but I speculate h e wasinvolvedin the wedding between Reuben Cornett and Celia Pendleton,because both men ha d considerable property and status in the community.
