Always glad to help! I got this information from Virginia Marriage Records, Compiled and Edited by Therese A. Fisher on CD. The four volumes contained on this CD are: Marriage Records of the City of Fredericksburg, and of Orange, Spotsylvania, and Stafford Counties, VA 1722-1850 (1990); Marriages in the New River Valley, VA: Montgomery, Floyd, Pulaski, and Giles Counties (1991); Marriages in Virginia: Spotsylvania Co. 1851-1900 and Orange Co. 1851-1867 (1992); Marriage Records of the City of Fredericksburg and the County of Stafford, VA 1851-1900 (1994). As time permits, I will be posting all of these marriage records on the Stafford County GenWeb site with the assistance of Suzanne Shephard, the new county coordinator. I am also in the process of transcribing the 1850 census for Stafford County for posting, as well as the earlier ones, as the Mussleman's left off with 1860.

I am overwhelmed. I see several that are mine. What book did they come from? I am reading through each one looking for more clues. The newspaper clipping I have says Joseph Stone married Mrs. Susan Southard, so it sounds like she was a widow & I was looking for a Mr. Southard married to a Susan before 1823 so I could find her maiden name. Thank you again for your help. I appreciate it very much. Do you have any ancestors from NC? If so I can help you.

I also threw in the Stone marriages from 1851 - 1900, as I saw that some are offspring of the mentioned couple. I am certain that these are not all inclusive, but hopefully this will help some.
