Notes for Joseph Lorenzo & Phebe (Family)
Bath Co. marriage book 1 lists the marriage of Joseph Sorrell and Phebe McCarte on 17 Mar 1824, bride’s father Thomas McCarte, bondsman Reuben Staten.

This family is no relationship to me so far as I know, but since my GGGG Aunt Sena Hall married a different Joseph Sorrell about 12 years older, I am keeping track of the descendants of both families to help in evaluating records.
