This volume is a comprehensive compilation of marriage references, actual and implied, in Northumberland County, Virginia from 1645 through 1800. In addition to marriages, birth and death dates are given, when available.
Marriage references have been gleaned from the records of the county including land records, probate records (wills, inventories and administration accounts), court records, military service and pension records, church records, Bible records, family histories and other documented secondary sources.
This book is much more than just names and dates. In many instances, the reader will find dates of birth and death, names of parents, children, siblings, other relatives, places of residence in Virginia and other states, occupations, public offices, military ranks, and other information. In many cases, there is ample information about family relationships to enable researchers to establish their family lineages for several generations.
Seasoned genealogists will appreciate this volume in order to find records on an individual much quicker than searching through indexes of records if an index exists.
