Can someone tell me which Marriage Book and page number contains the marriage of Caleb OLIVER to Nancy WHITE on 5 SEP 1792 in Orange County,VA Also, to whom can I write to request a copy of this Marriage Record and what would the cost be for such a request? Would someone be willing to make a copy for me upon my request? Thanking you in advance for your time, Robert C. Johnston, Jr. 284 Redland Downs Trail Wetumpka, AL 36093 USA [email protected]
Hi Robert, They had marriage bonds, minister's returns and consent forms back in 1792, but Virginia kept no actual marriage records then. There are microfilms and books at the Library of Virginia in Richmond, the books are transcriptions of the bonds from each county and city. Marriage records with information on the couples, such ags ages, parents, birthplaces, etc. did not start in Virginia until 1853. What you can get from copies of consent forms is sometimes a parent's name, consent needed in Va. at the time if the bride or groom was under the age of 21 years. Sometimes consent was given by a guardian if the parents were deceased. A bond would have the groom's signature and the amount of the penalty of the bond and the security and the names of the couple, but no personal data at all.
