Patrick Henry, who's father was from Aberdeen (last I checked in
Scotland), around 1732 married Sarah Winston Syme, a wealthy widow
from a prominent Hanover County family of English ancestry. In 1754
Patrick Henry married Sarah Shelton, from the name also of English
stock.
That took all of 2 minutes to find. I'm sure there are lots of other
Scots and Scots-Irish that married people of English descent. While
religion might have been a bigger factor among the plantation families
of the coastal plain, upcountry you married who was available and by
the mid 1700s not everyone was an Anglican anyway.
