TOMLIN, WALKER and Sarah Fauntleroy, bond undated. LeRoy Peachey (b).
[This undated bond is filed with others in the 1796 bundle of marriage bonds; from the phraseology it was written ante 1776. This was the first marriage of Colonel Walker Tomlin (17??-1802); the recording cited under Doctor Henry Todd (q.v., p. 216) in the Journals of the House of Burgesses 1773-1776 [Volume #13, p. 124], dated 24 May 1774, makes it certain that the marriage took place prior to this date and likely circa 1772. The groom was the son of Robert and Winifred (Webb) Tomlin mentioned on the preceding page. The bride was the daughter of John Fauntleroy (1724-1761) and his first wife nee Judith Littlepage, and widow of her first cousin Doctor George Heale Fauntleroy (17??-1770) (q.v., p. 68). Colonel Walker Tomlin was a man of affairs in Richmond County where he died intestate in 1802. AB#3, p. 80, 629, 635; WB#9, p. 165; Fauntleroy, p. 776-777; the records abound with genealogical data.]
