There were certainly marriages in Albemarle Co., VA from it creation in 1745, up until 1780. The referenced book apparently simply does not include them. Marriage records in Albemarle Co., VA before 1780 might be available only at the courthouse....and perhaps on microfilm, at places like the Library of VA (which can probably accessed via interlibrary loan). Goochland Co., VA was created from a part of Henrico Co., VA in 1727/1728, and Henrico was one of the original "shires" in VA. Buckingham (1761), Amherst (1761) and Fluvanna Co., VA (1777) were all created from Albemarle.
