Bedford County, Virginia Marriage Bonds 1800 to 1853

Note: Azariah Doss acted as surety. This record does not state that Azariah Doss was her father. No record has been found to substantiate that claim; however, indirect evidence does point to Azariah Doss being her father.

First, the given name "Hannah" occurred in the Doss family, as Azariah's mother-in-law was named Hannah (the wife of James Ayres), and the younger Hannah may have been a namesake for her grandmother.

Second, Azariah Doss acted as surety for her marriage, showing probable relationship.

Third, Hannah married William Hundley from neighboring Pittsylvania Co VA. William was the brother of Sarah Hundley (wife of James A. Doss, proven son of Azariah and Lydia (Ayres) Doss), and of Pittsylvania County. This connection could explain how that the two families (Doss and Hundley) knew one another, as both were from separate counties and distanced from each other in a time and place where it was normal for the majority of people to marry someone who lived within a few miles of their home, due to lack in technological advances in transportation. If this were the case, then the popular custom of their time, two siblings from one family marrying two siblings from another family, is herein exemplified.

Fourth, there were no other Doss families residing in Bedford County at the time when Hannah was married, pointing to the fact that she was probably the daughter of a family who lived in the area (Azariah Doss).

Lastly, another record has been discovered linking Hannah Doss, William Hundley, and Azariah Doss. Bedford County, Virginia Court Order Book 15, pp. 48-49, dated 9 March 1809, reveals that John Leftwich, Hannah Doss, Jonah Dobyns, and William Hundley testified on behalf of Azariah Doss in a criminal court case. The Leftwich family intermarried with the Ayres and Cundiff families (in-laws of Azariah Doss), and it seems likely that the others listed were likewise relatives or neighbors of Azariah Doss.
