Marriage |
Abt 1731 |
Westmorland\Stratford Co., Virginia |
- The bride came from a very prominent family in Westmorland county. Her father, Maj. Benjamin Berryman, was the high Sheriff of the county and owned thousands of acres of land, therefore it is very probable the marriage took place on her family plantation in Westmorland county. The records from this county have suffered heavy losses during the Revolutionary and Civil wars. To date no marriage record has been found.*
there is one. Reference: Married Well and Often: Marriages of the Northern Neck of Virginia 1649-1800 by Robert Headly. pg. 112 This entry doesn't have his first name.

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.
