Sally Ransdell - Fauquier, VA
Sally Ransdell married Nathaniel Gray 26 Sep 1786.Sally Ransdell Gray may have died shortly after her marriage because on 18 Mar 1789, Betsey Ransdell married Nathaniel Gray.
Elizabeth (Betsey) Ransdell was a proven daughter of William Ransdell and Mary Chilton, but who was Sally Ransdell?John Frederick Dorman in his article titled "The Chilton Families" claims that Sally is also a daughter of William Ransdell and Mary Chilton, but I can find no information to support this claim.
Bondsman for Sally's marriage was Charles Morehead and the Moreheads are associated by marriage with the Wharton Ransdell family.Wharton (d1786) is the brother of William Ransdell.In Wharton's will written 27 Jan 1786 (8 months before Sally's marriage), he names a daughter Sarah Ransdell.Could Sally and Sarah be one and the same?Since both Wharton and William were dead by the marriage date, someone other than Sally's father would have been the bondsman.
