Gloucester County, Virginia Marriages The records of Gloucester County were burned in 1821 and again during the War of 1861-1865. The following marriage licenses were apparently retained by James Baytop, minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who performed the marriages, and were never returned to the Clerk’s Office. They are among the Stubbs family papers in the College of William and Mary Library, Williamsburg, Va. Most of the licenses have the date of the marriage entered upon them with the signature of James Baytop as officient. Acree, James H., to Susan E. Roane, dau.
