Hello,
I have been an amateur genealogist for nearly 40 years and recently ran across a marriage record in Bedford County that strikes me as unusual (see below). I have seen spinster noted many times, but I don't recall seeing batchelor [sic] listed following a groom's name. I am wondering if others might be able to shed light on the use of the term in this marriage record. Thank you for your help.
Steve
Nathaniel Morris, batchelor [sic] m. Ann Morris, spinster, 28 Jul 1772. Samuel Morris, surety
