Notes for Benjamin & Nancy (Family)
Grayson Co. Virginia marriage book 1 records the marriage of Benjamin Sexton and Nancy Taylor on 22 Aug 1806.

Nancy may not be the mother of Benjamin's youngest son, James Henry Sexton. By 1850 Benjamin was married to a wife named Rhoda, and there is a five year gap between the births of Judy (about 1816) and James Henry (about 1821).
