Does anyone have a marriage bond/record for Richard BELCHER, b. ~ 1710 in Henrico Co., VA that supposedly married a Mary CLAY? Thanks, Tim

wouldn't that marriage bond be for the bride rather than the groom? The one that I have was for the bride signed by her father and witnessed by clerk of the court and one other witness. It was addressed to the Clerk of the Court in the county they were married in. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Tim I don't have it, but would be interested to know which family this is. "We" have a Mary Clay, b. ca 1718, Henrico, who is said to have married Edward Watkins, ca 1735. Mary was dau of Henry and Mary (Mitchell) Clay. We have Phoebe Belcher marrying Mitchell Clay ca 1760. Mitchell was son of William Mitchell and Martha (perhaps Lewis) Clay. The "We" in this case are members of the Clay Family Society -- and the author of the upcoming book on the Clays, Bruces and Kavanaughs. Maybe we can help. We are having a meeting in Chesterfield, VA in June. Care to join us?
