I've actually found several Virginia marriages listed as "Greenbriar"
not only at Ancestry, but other lists and books as well - and then I
found the original marriage bonds in the "Goochland" Circuit
Courthouse... No one seems to have an idea how that got started.
Was there ever a connection between Greenbriar (which is in West VA)
and Goochland?
