Sharon, Here's (possibly) some information on your William and Mary's marriage date: Listed, on Ancestry.com's Va Marriage Records were these two entries: 1. William Beaty married Mary Whitmoir, 19 Mar 1796, Shenandoah Co, VA Strangely enough, there was a 2nd listing, for the same marriage, with a couple differences: 2. William Beaty married Mary Whitmyer, 21 Mar 1796, Shenandoah Co, VA The two day difference in the marr. dates might be the "official recording" date of the marriage versus the ceremony date..... Have not found Robert's information. Do you have any of his siblings' names? Connie
