SPEARS, COX, COCKS

I am doing research on these families-- SPEARS, ESCUE (Askew) and COX -- in Allen County KY, as well as in Wilson and Sumner Counties, TN. My central focus has been on W. W. SPEARS, who first married Lora COX (Cocks) around 1828, probably in Wilson Co., and had 10 children. NExt, he married Lucinda J. ESCUE in Sumner County on 24 April 1850. They had 11 children that I know of. Lucinda may have come from TN, but this is uncertain, as a different birth state is on each census. I would love to hear from anyone familiar with these names, and these individuals in particular. I am trying to learn W. W. SPEARS and Lucinda ESCUE's parents and their birth places. What I know for certain in Lora COX's place of birth, that being Wilson Co. TN. Hope everyone's doing well. Doyle

COOK, METHENY

I have a copy of a marriage record of JOHN COOK and ANNIS METHENY in Wilson County in 1820. One of the documents is a pledge to pay the Governor $1250 if Annis was not a county resident or if any info came forward later that she could not lawfully be married. Questions: Was this a normal part of marriages and what was the purpose? Who normally would sign this document? Thanks to anybody who can shed some light for me.
