Father William Lough, b. 1739 Mother Jane Graham, b. 1740 Marriage 11 Jul 1761 Long Newton,,,Count Durham,England [1, 2, 3, 4] - There was a marriage bond signed between William Lough and his prospective father-in-law Ralph Graham in the amout of 200 pounds, which seems like an enormous amount of money for the time. However this money would not have been paid, it was the sum to be paid if there was found to be an impediment to the marriage.

"Think of a marriage bond as an intention to marry — a reflection of an official "engagement." A man who had proposed to a woman went to the courthouse with a bondsman (often the father or brother of the prospective bride), and posted a bond indicating his intention to marry the woman. The bond was an amount of money that the prospective groom would have to pay as a penalty if an impediment to the marriage was found. No money literally changed hands at the time of posting the bond. But if the groom was discovered, for instance, already to have a wife whom he had abandoned, the marriage could not go through and the man would have to pay (I've often seen bonds in the sum of 50 dollars or pounds, but the amount could be as high as $1,000)."
