Camden County

Victor Rogers Southerland and Frances Abby Deans married in Camden County, NC, in the town of South Mills.

(from Gary)
Your grandad said his parents went to north carolina to get married because it was easier; probably got married by a justice of the peace. South Mills was the first place in NC they would have come to on highway 17 south, the main road south out of Portsmouth, Va.
