<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 21040890, member: 5372&quot;]No mystery. Settlers often used English Pounds. It was a matter of choice and County and Commonwealth affiliation. Money was not exchanged at all, unless the marriage did not occur. It was still a matter of conversion-the value of a U.S. $ to British Pounds at the time. No money really changed hands. Pounds were often used and used much later than 1851.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you knew most of that, though. After all, your Grandmothers&#039; father signed for a $100.00 Bond in 1890 in U.S. $,&nbsp; correct?</p><p><br /></p><p>Truth in editing: changed &quot;Ponds&quot; to &quot;Pounds&quot; in one appropriate location. I guess it is possible that Ponds were acceptable as a Bond...after all, it is Kentucky, so....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
