Sarah Berryman, b. Abt 1713, Westmorland Co., Virginia d. Aft 1763, Fauquier Co., Virginia (Age ~ 51 years) |
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 |
- William Douglas was apparently the first member of the family to move from Maryland to Virginia. According to Wilson Cary, William Douglas was still living in Charles County, Maryland in 1761. 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.
It is unfortunate that many of the records of Westmorland, Stafford and Prince William Counties have been lost in two wars. To date his will has not been found.
Very little is known about William Douglas. It is obvious, however, that he was a man of means as his father and grandfather were.
