SOURCE: Although no marriage record of Charity and Joel has been found, they were married prior to 1758 when her mother's will was written.

The will of Sarah Hollowell was not recorded in Norfolk Co., VA, but appeared in the records. It is possible that the copy of the will was used to prove heirship, because Joel and Absalom were in Bertie Co., NC in 1758.
