Warrenton, Nov. 21 st 1843.
Dear Sir,
I have made the examination necessary to answer the en- quiries in your letter of the 17 th inst. I have examined the list of mar- riage bonds in the Office of Fauquier County Court, for the years 1780- '81, '82, '83, '85 & '86, and cannot find any bond executed by W m . Rose.
The Clerk of this Court has held this Office, for 11 years.
There is no such thing as a register of births in our County, that I have ever heard of.
I cannot say that the records are so regular and full as to raise a presumption of much weight against an alleged marriage in this County. You will observe that I have not named above the year 1784. The file for that year is lost. You can see that this fact alone teaches that the records are not very reliable during that period. The size, however, of the file for 1785, shows that at least to be full, when I compare it with the file of other years, even though long subsequent
Respectfully,
