    [cos1776 Note of Caution: Hayden's marriage year (1760) doesn't match the bond year (1759) cited in the W&M article. I suspect that Hayden's year is incorrect and should be 1759, since the newspaper article he cites refers to the original wedding day to have been a Saturday. This matches the day of the week upon which the bond was issued (29 Dec 1759), whereas the 29th of Dec in 1760 was a Monday.]
