Rockingham County Marriages 1778-1850. Ed: John Vogt & T. William Kethley Jr. Iberian Publishing Co. Athens, Georgia. Transmitted to me by James E. Wall. The focus of these entries is the May and Messamore families. My fourth great grandparents Wilhelm/William Messamore and Margarethe (Peggy) May were married in 1799 in Rockingham County. In addition, William Messamore's mother was Catherine Mauck and Peggy May's mother was Maria Catherine Emerich. So Mauck and Emerich marriages are included as well.
