Captain Joshua CLAPP and Delilah HUFFMAN were married on 24 January 1831 in Guilford Co., NC.^67,319 Marriage Bond, Guilford Co., NC. Marriage bond dated 24 Jan 1831, Bondsman - Hezekiah Coble, witness - Jno. Hanner, C.C.C.. An infant son died at the same time as mother. Delilah HUFFMAN, daughter of George HOFFMAN and Elizabeth SHOFFNER, was born on 8 March 1811 in Guilford Co., NC.^26,319,320 Stone has 8 Mar 1812 which I believe is wrong. She died on 6 October 1848 at the age of 37 in Guilford Co., NC.^26,319 She was buried in 1848 in Brick Church Cemetery, Guilford Co., NC.²⁶ ACB book page 258 has her birth date as 8 Mar 1821. This must be incorrect as the marriage bond of 1831 would make her a little young to marry. CHECK.
