There is two marriage records in Brunswick County, Va. between Saunders and Pentecosts. Sally Saunders married James Pentecost on Feb. 24, 1787, (bondsman was Ebbin Saunders.) James Pentecost is listed in the 1790 Census of Northampton, N. C.
Peggy Pentecost married John Saunders on Dec. 26, 1785. The marriage record identifies her as Scarborough Pentecost's daughter.
Does anyone have information on either of these Saunders/Pentecost families?
