"In that same year, 1674, Rose's daughter, Sarah (Tucker), who had reached the age of eleven, was chosen by William FitzHugh to be his bride. And, Rose apparently consenting to the marriage, recorded her deed of gift 26 August 1674, written the day before (Ibid., pp.200-201, Abstractors Vol 3 p 10) 'In consideration of a marriage had and contracted between Wm. FitzHugh and my eldest daughter Sarah'---
giving to him numerous items, including two negroes, cattle, a gelding, jewelry and many household items 'from the place known as Mr. Tucker's Plantation; no doubt fulfilling part of the wording of Sarah's father's will.
"The story is well told in 'Wm FitzHugh and his Chesapeake World' (1963) - R. B. Davis, Introduction pp 10, 11, saying that 'Family tradition insists that the young husband sent his wife to England for two years of education before the marriage should be consummated,' etc. As related also, young William FitzHugh, bpt 1651, Bedfordshire, England, had come alone to the Colony of Virginia, apparently to try his fortune, and settle in Westmoreland Co., then later in Stafford Co. where in 'two and a half years after his marriage, the young lawyer-planter was elected to the House of Burgesses from Stafford Co.' He became a prominent citizen and large land holder."
