Notes Married:
- Married by the Rev. James STEVENSON. David was 34 years old and Lucy was 14 years old. [2]
Individual Event:
- Alexander MACAULAY, 28, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and had been living in Yorktown, VA for about 5 years where he had a mercantile business. He was recently married to Elizabeth (Betsey) JERDONE. They were traveling from Louisa County to Yorktown, and stopped at the home of David COCHRAN, 43, and his wife Lucy, 22. At the time, the COCHRAN's had three living children, Catherine, 7, William, 3, and Recebba, 6 months, who was to die in another 5 months. This is MACAULAY's account of the visit from his diary.
"It threatened bad weather & we knew D. Cochrane kept a good Shop, and would give us a hearty welcome. We were not disappointed. Mr. Cochrane received us with a warmth of Heart, a cordial sincerity, that were I not a Scotchman, I would say was peculiarly the Characteristic of his Country - it is said they are only kind to one another. But I should imagine that where people are friendly to their own Countrymen, they must have some degree of Benevolence for the rest of Mankind. Mrs Cochrane likewise with genuine (not depreciated) Virginia politeness treated Betsey with the Hospitality due a Virginian, & your Hble Servant with the attention due to the Countryman of her Husband.
"Saturday, 22d. Bad weather, good Quarters & cheerful Friends; spent our time very agreeably, had a visit from the amiable, accomplished, Delicate, genteel Mrs. Riddock, as neat, clean tug & handsome as ever; a good specimem of Scotch Ladies in this Land. Why in the name of wonder do such go abroad? She is much better calculated for the Meridian of the Mull of Cantire or the Esquimaux than the polished Circles of Virginia.
"Sunday, 23d. Fine weather and intended to proceed. But Mr. & Mrs. Cochrane laid out an absolute Embargo on us. We therefore agreed to leave the roads to dry for this Day & set out next morning.
"Monday, 24th, at Ten A. M. Bid adieu to our worthy Friends at New Castle, Betsey wishing she could have the pleasure as such a neighbour as Mrs. Cochrane; she is indeed very good natured & agreeable, & they seemed mightily taken with each other, and were quite well acquainted in a few hours. I was very glad to see it, as you know my Wife is rather reserved; However, Better so than to be too familiar; Mrs. Cochrans affibility would get the better of everything."
