Transcriber's Notes:
Tyrrell County marriage bonds show the marriage of Nancy Arnold to Enoch Basnight on 14 Jul 1853, A. H. Smith security.
The 1850 Census of Tyrrell County shows the household of James Basnight (70), Martha Basnight (69), Nancy Basnight (34), Rachael Basnight (9), James Basnight (1), Martha Arnold (11), Susan Arnold (8) and Reddick Arnold (7).
The 1860 Census of Tyrrell County shows the household of Enoch Basnight (32), Nancy Basnight (46), Martha Basnight (21), Susan Basnight (19), Reddick Basnight (17), Hamilton Basnight (6), Nancy Basnight (4) and Eliza Basnight (3).
It is possible that Nancy Arnold was a daughter of James Basnight considering that he was administrator of her husband's estate and that she was living in his household in 1850.
