B. who performed the marriage you cited was Alexander Balmain(e), who was received as curate of the Augusta parish in Nov. 1773. I assume this refers to the Anglican/Eposcopal Church. The Rev. Balmaine also served on a committee to draw up a bill of instructions for delegates from Augusta Co. to a state convention to consider the question of opposing the tyranny of Great Britain (Feb. 1775).
