Is there any condition in which a mother might give consent for the marriage of her daughter, in 1796 Virginia? Perhaps I am not transcribing the consent correctly. If you are willing to look at the consent, as well as my transcription, please email me at [email protected] I need your criticism. Thank you, LeRoy Atkins

Off hand, without knowing a lot about Virginia laws specifically, it would appear that the bride was underage. And it seems more likely/probable that her father was dead or otherwise indisposed that he did not give consent.
