William G. Corker's marriage bond is dated 27 Mar. 1837, Austin Tate, surety; William married Susannah Tate on 10 Apr. 1837 by James M. Bagby, minister. (William s/o William Corker; Susannah d/o Nathaniel Tate dec?d).

As noted above in the previous section 4.11:

1838, Sep. 3 Louisa Co. . . William G. Corker & Susan his wife who was a Tate & Mildred Tate, heirs & distributees of Nathaniel Tate dec?d to Wm. W. Anderson for $30. . . 2/12 undivided interest in the tract which Nathaniel Tate dec'd died seized & on which sd William G. Corker at present resides (DB W p.290)

It is not clear when William and Susannah vacated Nathaniel Tate's land or where they were living in the decade that followed until the following land purchase was made:

1857, Dec. 31 Louisa Co. . . Ambrose & Elizabeth Lacy, Robt. T. & Nancy T. White to William G. Corker for $600. . . 68 a. adj. Dr. Wm. Meredith & c. being devised to Nancy T. White & after her death to Eliz. Lacy by will of Dorothy Pearson dec?d (DB EE p.184).
