  List of Governors of Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Governors of Virginia since Virginia became a U.S. state following the American Revolutionary War.
The Governor of Virginia is forbidden by the Constitution of the Commonwealth from serving consecutive terms (the only U.S. state in which gubernatorial incumbents are forbidden from running for governor); however, several governors have served multiple non-consecutive terms.
In Virginia, governors and lieutenant governors are elected separately, so the two can be of different political parties and can be political rivals.

Whyte and the colonial treasurer, Charles Meredith (q.v.) were the first to go on ministerial tours, and as a result vigorous efforts were made to open up the country by constructing roads and bridges.
The colonial office was unable to understand that convict labour could not be made to pay its way, and Wilmot was made responsible for the faults of a system he had no power to amend.
He was also in the forefront of the struggle with Gipps concerning generally the powers of the council and the governor on the land question, and in 1846 moved and carried an address to the governor acquainting him that the council could not entertain a bill he had originated.

 Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton's natural inclinations were then, as always, toward the side of order and established government, but a visit to Boston in the spring of 1774, and a close examination of the questions in dispute, convinced him of the justice of the cause of the colonies.
A "Life of Alexander Hamilton" (2 vols., 1834-'40) was published by his son, John Church, who also compiled an elaborate work entitled "History of the Republic of the United States, as traced in the Writings of Alexander Hamilton and his Contemporaries," the first volume of which contains a sketch of his father's career (1850-'8).
A list of the books written by or relating to Hamilton has been published under the title of "Bibliotheca Hamiltonia" by Paul L. Ford (New York, 1886).

Posted by the bridegroom, often with a second person, usually the father or brother of the bride, these were to defray the cost of litigation in the event the marriage was nullified.
Sometimes a parent (usually the father) or guardian went with the couple and gave verbal permission; in other instances a printed form or handwritten consent was used.
Marriage records in the United States can be found primarily at the county and town clerks' offices, but in some cases they are found in the records of churches, ministers, justices of the peace, military, state vital records and boards of health offices, and colonial governors.
