Bond V. BROWN of Caswell County, North Carolina, "sheweth that he
intermarried with a certain Susannah KERNS in the month of August, 1791. We
lived in peace and harmony until 1800 when without any provocation whatever
that I had any knowledge of, the said Susannah left my bed and board
leaving with me four children, one of which was at the breast, and went off
with a man by the name of Joshua PYRON to the state of Tennessee with whom
she has lived in a state of adultery and abandoment ever since."
Your petitioner has been credibly informed the said Susannah is still
living with said PRYON and has had five children by him. Your petitioner
has some property which may be serviceable to his said children at his
death and having a wish that the said Susannah nor her children should
enjoy any lawful title or claim to the same he prays a law securing to him
what property he now has or hereafter may acquire.
"REJECTED"

Is the John PYRON listed, the same man that married Sarah LEATH 26 Nov 1799
with Joel LEATH as bondsman in Caswell County?
