*Abstracts of Marriage Bonds, Guilford C., 1841-1846:
LAN, Meranda [LAND, Maraudy] and Perlina Case [Lina] 27 Feb 1850
Perlina, daughter of Ezekiel CASE and wife, Charlotte PARISH
Bondsman: John GOLEY Witness: Levi STEPHENS
*1870 US NC Guilford Co. Census:
Land, Maranda 40 Farmer (wife)Palina 39 Keeping house
ch: John 15m farms; ?Gmonine (Almarine) 12m; Nathan 10m; Franky 9f; Leitha 7f. [NOTE: All of these listed as being born in NC. note:
*William J. should be listed here as age 18 unless he has already out on his own. Could he be the 1st child listed as John since his 3rd given name is John?] Also, William's future sister-in-law, Nancy Troxler is living 2 houses away with Deanes.
*1860 Guilford Co. Census Book:
Miranda LAND 30, laborer Property: $125
(wife)Poline 30;
ch: Almonell 7m; Franklin 9f; Nathan 4; N.V. 2m; and Bettie 60 (mom).
[NOTE: All of these listed as born in Guilford Co. * William J. should be listed here at about age 8. Which one? This is why we lost him on census. Franklin listed as female (on 1860 & 1870). Bettie, age 60 is probably Miranda LAND's mother and his father is probably deceased by now. Living next door, Polina's brother, Thomas Case, age 38, $12,050 and his family]
Also, 1860 Guilford Co.: # 1194 Ezekiel CASE 66, farmer $1,150 b.Rockingham Co. and wife, Sarah 48, b. Guilford Co.
*also copy of 1860 census-Northern Division on microfilm: child looks more like Almonin instead of Almonell as stated in book
*A new -found relative sent the following info. from 1880 Mortality schedule:
Land (or Lane), Miranda 54 m w Widowed NC NC NC Farmer died Dec. - General debility - resident of Guilford 54 yrs- Drs. Garret & Willis. Also, 3 more LANDs died of pneumonia in Nov 1879 with same doctors ; all born & parents born in NC; all lifetime residents of Guilford Co. Julina, 57 married; Nathan, 21single, farms;
Rachael 19 single.
(NOTE: in the handwriting of the old records Julina and Paulina are hard to tell apart, could this be Miranda's wife?, according to census she should have been about 49, also Nathan was their son, Rachel was probably, at the very least, a relative. They all 3 died in Nov. of 1879 of pneumonia and Miranda died the next month, (listed as widowed) with cause of death listed as General Debility. Although this needs further research, Miranda Land probably died with, if not from a broken heart.
