Patricia, The dates you mentioned appear to be too early for Guy Keesecker's Marriage Records of Berkeley Co., VA 1781-1854 but I though I would pass along the listings for the Stribling surname as there were only four: Stribling, Cornelius m. Riddle, Eliz. - Sept. 15, 1853 - minister - W. B. Dutton Stribling, Dulcebella W. m. Beeson, Edw. - Sept. 18, 1817 - minister - John P. Hoge (suretor - John Strother) Stribling, Taliafero m. Tate, Polly - Jan. 17, 1814 (date of bond) - no minister listed (suretor - Robert Wilson) Stribling, Wm. m. Humphrey, Sally - Apr. 23, 1789 (date of bond) - no minister listed (suretor - Arch'd Ellis) (Archibald) A good piece of advice for their migration trail into Kentucky would be the genealogy reference book "Ancestry's Guide to Research", Case Studies in American Genealogy by Johni Cerny & Arlene Eakle. This book shows approximately 12 pages of "internal" migration routes listing early canals, turnpikes (not today's turnpikes!) and primary migration roads. A lot of folks don't realize how important this little book is to their research!
