Has anyone found (or even seen) the marriage record for William Sumpter who is alleged to have married Elizabeth Patience Iverson (Iveson) in Hanover Co., VA on 18 June 1728? If so, where can the record be found? Has anyone found (or even seen) any Hanover Co., VA records to indicate that William Sumpter, father of General Thomas Sumter, ever resided in Hanover Co., VA? If so, where can the record(s) be found? According to the USGenWeb Project, Hanover County, Virginia was formed from New Kent County, Virginia on November 26, 1720. Further, USGenWeb Project states, "The Colonial Records of New Kent County were destroyed by a fire in 1787, which was set by John Price Posey, for which he was hung. It was the greatest loss suffered because the early records of many counties were in the New Kent Clerk's Office: King and Queen, 1654-1691; King William County, 1654 to 1702; Hanover County, 1654 to 1728; Louisa County, 1654 to 1728; and part of Caroline County, 1654 to 1720." Based on the above, records relating to William Sumpter and any ancestor in New Kent County and Hanover County from 1654 to 1728 are not available. Has anyone had an opportunity the review the following records for Sumpter data? The Vestry Book of Blisland Parish in New Kent and James City Counties, Virginia 1721 to 1786, edited by Dr. C.C.
