I have it that it was Abner Dudley that married Lucy Barber. Virginia Marriages to 1800 Barber, Lucy married Dudley, Abner on 24 Feb 1795 in Campbell County, Virginia. Marriage bonds of Campbell Co., Virginia 1795, 2, 24. Abner & Lucy Barber dt. Charles. Armistead Dudley, Surety. Other Abner Dudley information that I am trying to sort out.
