What the source supports

That Welby H. Baldwin, a farmer living in Clarke County, Virginia, married L. V. Gordon in 1884.

Uncertainty

Read from this project's OCR of a scan of Duncan's printed abstract, not from the page image or from the register kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Clarke County. Duncan's abbreviations are expanded using her key. Nothing about Welby H. Baldwin beyond this entry is recorded here, and his parents and his wife get no records.
