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
