The marriage bond signed by Solomon Prewitt and James Lollar/Loller was not for a marriage to Mary Lollar, but to Mary Dulworth/Dulwit. I have a copy of the application of Solomon's widow Mary Dulworth/Dulwit and it contains the original bond that states a marriage was to take place between Solomon Prewitt and Mary Dulwit. I am attaching a copy of that page. Solomon had a wife Mary when he applied for a pension (1829) but it was not Mary Dulwit/Dulworth as the bond was not taken out until November, 1840. In her application, Mary Dulwit/Dulworth states that she and her husband had been married 12 years, which more or less agrees with the date of the bond.
I suppose the mistake of who Mary Dulwit was came about because James Lollar signed the bond. In the 1830 census of Cumberland Co., KY., James Lollar and the John Dulworth family were next-door neighbors. I believe Mary to be the widow of John, and if so, her maiden name would have been Broadway. The Lollar line is mine. I have researched it for ca. 35 years and have no reason to think that Mary Dulwit was a Lollar
