I have a copy of Martin Luther Coyner and Elizabeth Reah's marriage bond.

Know all men by thefe prefents, that we Martin Koiner and Thomas Turk are
held and firmly bound unto his Excellency (can't read the name of the
governor) Esquire, governor of Virginia, and his fucceffors, in the sum of
fifty pounds current money, to the payment whereof, well and truly to be
made, we do bind ourfelves, our heirs and each of our joins and feveral
heirs, executors and adminiftrators, jointly and feverally firmly by thefe
prefents, sealed with our feals and dated the 14th day of April 1792 in the
16th year of the commonwealth.

The condition of the above obligation is fuch, that whereas there is a
marriage fuddenly to be folemnized between the above bound Martin Koiner and E
lizabeth Reah,Stinster daughter of _______________ of Augufta county. It
therefore there fhall be no lawful caufe to obftruct the faid marriage, then
this obligation to be void, otherwife to remain in full force and virtue,
Witnefs,
Martin Koiner ( seal)
Thom Turk (seal)

They both signed their names. If you will look at the info after Elizabeth
Reah's name. Many thought that it was Stamper, I think it is Spinster. since
it is spelled Stinster
