Research Notes

Note: trying to find sources for marriage of William III and Elizabeth

• Estimated marriage to be in 1688 based upon birth of first son in 1689.
• Marriage not found in Virginia, Compiled Marriages, 1660-1800 on Ancestry.com

Note: Is it possible that the birth and death dates on this profile are incorrect, but this is the same person?

Don't think these are the same people, just here for reference:

There is a record in the Virginia Land Office grants of land to the extent of more than 14,000 acres in the name of Colonel William Claiborne. His family seat was “Romancoke” in King William county, five miles above West Point, where is the tomb of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Claiborne.

Son of William?
