Marriage Notes
"On May 20, 1657, Abigail Davis petitioned the Assembly, alleging that her step-father John Cowdall and her mother had forced her into a marriage with Richard Ussell, and later in the same year the Assembly declared that the marriage was unlawful and that she was free to marry Edward Richmond, whom she declared in her petition to be her choice. (see Colonial Records, Vol. I, p. 359, etc.)"
