Marriage Registers

These are marriage records in ledgers by clergymen. Some of these marriages also appear in county records.

The Douglas Register - https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/451350-redirection

From the foreword, Reverend William Douglas came to St James Northam Parish, in Goochland County, Virginia (Dover Church) on 12 Oct 1750; he was in charge of St James Northam Parish for 27 years. He kept a ledger of people he married and baptized. His record book was passed down through his family, and was transcribed and published in 1928.

Marriages

    • p.50, marriages by Groom: Womack Henry, & Mary Terry, in Louisa 1778, Jul: 31 p.18

    • p.89, marriages by Bride Terry, Nancy, & Henry Womack, in Louisa, Jul:31 1778 p.18

The original manuscript of the Douglas Register is in a private collection. In the transcription, Henry Womack Jr's wife is listed as both Mary Terry in the index by groom, and Nancy Terry in the index by bride. Nancy is probably correct, because when Henry sold land in Goochland Co, VA, his wife Ann signed as well; Nancy was a common nickname for Ann.
