From Ancestry.com: The Douglas Register has this entry under "Marriages not recorded by Rev. Wm. Douglas but indicated by the birth registry. Date here given, unless otherwise specified, if birth date of first child shown in this register:" p. 134 Holyday, Betty, & Joseph Pulham 26 Sept. 1785.

But I think Joseph could easily have married previously, as daughter Mary may have been born ca. 1748 because of this from the William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. 20, No. 3 (Jan 1912), p. 203. [Online].
