We are interested in a couple of the people in the marriage records below:

CULPEPER COUNTY VIRGINIA Marriage Records

Harris, Jesse married Molly Clatterbuck, January 25, 1787

Harris, James married Mary Brady, Dec. 18, 1788

Harrison, George married Nancy Duff, July 14, 1784 (DNA Harrison Group 1)

Harrison, Obed married Frances Lewis, April 4, 1793 I expect this is our Obed Jr. son of Obed Sr. of Loudoun County, Virginia. Although Obed married Frances in Culpeper County, he was listed in the Loudoun County tax lists for the years 1795, 97 and 98. The question is how did he meet Frances in Culpeper?

Nearby in AUGUSTA COUNTY VIRGINIA

Burr Harris married Mildred Bohannon, October 18, 1785 This is also Obed Sr. of Loudoun County's son. In 1787-89, 91-95, and 1797 Burr Harris with one poll is listed in the Loudoun Co., VA tax lists. How is it that both of Obed Harris's sons are marrying girls from these other counties?

Obed Harris Jr. who married Frances Lewis named one child Simeon. Frances's brother was also named Simeon. Burr Harris married to Mildred Bohannon named one child Simeon. I believe that this points to a direct relationship.
