Frederick Foard was bondsman; John P. Hodgens, JP, wit.
There were some spelling problems on the bond - Harriett's name was "Ellis" - her father was Anderson Ellis.

In the same census, South of Salisbury, Gold Hill P.O., Hh 425 was the household of Pheby Cuningham, age 53, b. SC, which seemed to be a household of five middle aged and unmarried sisters. Florence & Cora Bradshaw were also listed as living with them.
And, also South of Salibury, but Salisbury P.O., Hh 926
