Marriage Licence of George Davis and Susanna Herndon, dated 25 Oct 1813. George Davis and Joseph Herndon paid $150 to secure the licence so that George could marry Susannah Herndon. The original document is located in Fluvanna County Court House. The ministers marriage return book, page 92 says that George and Susanna were married on 30 Oct 1813. SHEET 621. 2. Fluvanna County Deed Book 17 page 251, and page 342. In these deeds Hiram agreed to support Susanna Davis as a member of his family in exchange for use of her tract of land (probably for farming). The land in the deeds is described as, "her tract of land on which she now resides, lying in the County of Fluvanna, containing forty-four acres more or less and bounded by the lands of Stephen Johnson, James Baltimore (DB17P251, dated 14 Nov 1853). On 26 Feb 1856 (DB17P342) Susanna and Hiram agreed to break the contract because Hiram was unable to live up to it. Susanna allowed Hiram to live on the property until the 25th of December and then he was to surrender all interest in the property, and the former contract was to be dissolved. SHEETS 617-618, and SHEETS 625-626. 3. 1850 Census Fluvanna County page 16, line 35. Susanna is listed in her own household with no husband, age 67, born in Virginia. Living with her was Sarah E. Dennis, age 9, no relationship listed. Enumeration was done on 7 Aug 1850. 4. 1860 Census Fluvanna County page 758, Central Plains District. Susan Davis is listed as living by herself, age 78, born in Virginia. Enumeration was 5 Nov 1860.
I [Paul Shipp] have assumed that George Davis is really her husband and that Herndon is truly her maiden name by searching the marriage records of Fluvanna county for all marriages of Davis men to women named Susanna, and only one exists, listed above.
