VIRGINIA RESEARCH NOTES

From the booklets entitled “Some VirginiaMarriages 1700-1799" published by Cecil D.McDonald, Jr., I found the following:

Hales, John married Walker, Elizabeth onFebruary 19, 1760 – Goochland CountyMarriage Bond.

Hales, John married East, Edee on March 4,1783 in Henry County.

Those are the only Hales entries in volumes onethrough four of the above publications.

In Mr. McDonald’s booklet, “HenryCounty, Virginia Marriage Bonds” there are noHales entries.
