Genealogical Society Quarterly: "The final petition regarding religious "toleration" or freedom presented to the House of Burgesses by the Baptists was read on 13 June 1775." A Petition of sundry Persons of the Community of Christians, called Baptists, and other Protestant dissenters, whose names are thereunto subscribed, was presented to the House, and read; setting forth, that the Toleration proposed by the Bill, ordered at a former Session of General Assembly to be printed and Published, not admitting public Worship, except in the day time, is inconsistent with the laws of England, as well as with the practice and usage of the primitive Churches, and even of the English Church itself; that the night Season may sometimes be better spared by the Petitioners from the necessary duties of their callings; and that they wish for no indulgencies which may disturb the peace of the Government; and therefore praying the House to take their cast into consideration, and to grant them suitable redress.

Case, published in Va. Genealogical Society Quarterly...Ms. Case notes the following: " Colonial marriage records are difficult to find. Few exist outside the extant parish registers. However, those researchers attempting to document a colonial marriage in which one of the participants was a widow or due an inheritance can often find a reference to the marriage and an approximate date in county order books; In the following transcripts from Henrico County Record Book No 2, 1678-1693, ....... At August Court 1687 Gill Fuquett petitioned the court for the estate of the grand-daughter of William Humphrys given by Humphrys to Fuquett and his wife before his death. Since Maurice Floyd petitioned the court for payment of the funeral expenses for William Humphry at the same court, we can place the marriage at some time prior to August 1687. p. 79...(p. 243) At August Court 1687...Upon ye petition of Gill Fuquett as marrying ye Grand-daughter of Will'm Humphrys late dec'd, and ye deposicions in Court taken for proof thereof, It is Ordered, That Four Cows, one feather bed & Coulster, & 2 pewter dishes given by ye Sd deced unto ye sd Fuquett & wife before his death be, & remain to ye sd Fuquett's proper use, & be nott held nor deemed any part of ye sd decedents estate. p. 80...(p. 243)..Maurice Floyd to this Court petitioning for Funerall Expences & other trouble & charge in Sicknesse &c about Willm Humphrys late Dec'd & exhibitting an acc of ye same, wch being in Court Examin'd & Regulated he is allowed in full thereof eighteen hund'd pds of tobacco & Casq to be paid him out of ye Sd estate."
