HUSBAND: John SHIPP
BORN:
DIED: 4 Mar 1778 IN: FAUQUIER CO., VA
BURIED IN: FAUQUIER CO., VA
REF: WILL BOOK 1 IN: FAUQUIER CO., VA
REF: PAGE 324
FATHER:
MOTHER:
It is possible that John had a wife before Sally, as his first two or three children were born before date given for marriage. Since he named his first child Richard Wiatt, it is possible that the wife may have been a Wiatt. I have done much research in Virginia but have not been able to trace the early records of this family. I have John's will and marriage bonds of some of his children. All children on this fgs are listed in order that they appear in his recorded will. (see Will of John Shipp)

WIFE: Sally JOHNSON
MARRIED: 25 FEB 1762 IN: ORANGE CO., VA
BORN:
DIED: BEF 1778 IN: FAUQUIER CO., VA
So far I have not been able to verify the parentage of Sally Johnson. It is very confusing as one of the sons also married a Sally Johnson - some say this Sally is an Aunt of Laban's wife but this is not so. Sally is not named in John's will so I assume she died prior to March 1778.
