VA Families, looking for prove of marriages through wills and land deeds. Of course I have looked for my early Frederick Co. VA marriages in published books. The one I have on hand is by John Vogt & T.Wm. Kethley, Jr. covering the years of 1738-1850. As I go through Frederick Co. VA Wills I will be posting marriages for various people on this web page, in the hope of helping others. Thomas Berry dated his will 20 Feb 1806 and probated 4 Mar 1819. His wife named as Frances.
