This would mean that only the last five or six years of his life were spent in Virginia. Wilson Cary also states that William and Sarah only had two children, Benjamin T. and Joseph. William married Sarah Berryman about 1731 in Westmorland\Stratford Co., Virginia. Sarah was born about 1713 in Westmorland Co., Virginia; died after 1763 in Fauquier Co., Virginia.

5. | Sarah Berryman was born about 1713 in Westmorland Co., Virginia; died after 1763 in Fauquier Co., Virginia. Notes: This line is directly traceable to Capt. Robert Behethland who came to America in 1607 with Captain. John Smith and founded Jamestown. The name "Behethlon, Behethlan, Behethie, etc. show up in almost all early generations as female names. Benjamin T. Douglas Sr. had a daughter named Behethlon. This variance is probably due to the differences in pronunciations. Notes: Married:
