I entered all the marriages mentioned in Hinshaw for Back Creek and
Marlborough MMs, Randolph County NC, into the NC Marriages Database:

http://tn-3.rootsweb.com/~marce/ncarolina/index.html

Unless I missed them in doing these entries, Abraham and Catherine aren't
listed as a marriage record. However the database does include a civil
bond record for Abijah:

GROOM: Abijah Hammer

BRIDE: Susannah Dukes

RECORD TYPE: marriage bond

DATE: 6 May 1820
