Treasure Chest Thursday~The Marriage of Valentine Brock and Nancy W. Vandigriff

Today’s treasure chest document is the marriage of Valentine Brock and Nancy W. Vandigriff.

Valentine Brock b. 2 Feb 1815 was the son of Valentine (bef 1775-bef 1830) Brock and Elizabeth Lundy (3 Feb. 1780-25 April 1850).

Nancy W. Vandigriff, b. 22 March 1817 was the daughter of John Vandigriff and Margaret Crockett.
Valentine Brock and his wife Elizabeth Lundy had migrated from Chesterfield County, SC to Henry County, Georgia. I believe this move took place after 1820. In 1820, Valentine and Elizabeth are still living in Chesterfield County.
