Treasure Chest Thursday~Marriage Bond-George M. Dry and Mary ‘Polly’ Sides, 1822


George M. Dry, son of Johann Martin Dry and Catherine Keppel married Mary ‘Polly’ Sides, daughter of Christopher Sides and Mary Esther Lipe. 

They were married on 11 November 1822 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. George and Polly would raise a family of 9 children; 6 sons and 3 daughters. George passed away on 6 January 1857 at the rather young age of 57.  Polly is listed in the 1860 census for Stanly County as a 57 year old widow. She still has 3 of her 9 children living at home.
George is buried in the Palestine Methodist Church Cemetery, Stanly County, North Carolina.

I have not found a death date for Mary ‘Polly’ Sides and the 1860 Census is the last record I have for her. If you have additional information please contact me.
