Joseph (X) his mark, Parsons (Seal) Wm Holt {Seal} Marriage Bonds, Pittsylvania County, Copied by Richard M. Price, May 6, 2000 Joseph Parsons was married first to Margaret Griffith, daughter of William and Rachel Griffith. In the 1830 Pittsylvania Census, Joseph was 80-90 years of age. Sally was 40-50. There was also another female in the household, age 40-30. Does anyone have any information on Sally? Was she married before her marriage to Joseph, and did she have a daughter? Thanks, Donna Price
