Marriage Records of Accomack County, Virginia, 1776-1854: Recorded in Bonds, Licenses, and Ministers' Returns Nora Miller Turman

The author has collected all extant marriage bonds on file in the Accomack County Clerk's Office and in the Virginia State Library. She has also included bonds for the years 1831-1841 and 1847-1850 which were abstracted by earlier genealogists from records which have since disappeared. Moreover, she has augmented the bonds with marriages recorded only in the Ministers' Returns. Also included are the eighteen surviving Accomack County marriage records from the colonial period. Each record is alphabetized by the surname of the groom, and contains the name of the wife and date the marriage was recorded.
