her maiden name is also thought to have been Whiddon, potentially meaning she married a cousin

Invites to the "Whiddon - Whiddon" nuptials must have looked very awkward.

Guns in 1641 were pretty inaccurate even over short distances.

Whoever shot here would have been immediately spotted by the crowd.

That is so sad. It reminds me of my wedding day. Everyone was crying. My brides mother was crying as we got married. My new bride cried on the way to the hotel. I cried when she got undressed. I mean, everyone cried that day.

Lots of people married cousins, back then. I and some of my relatives are modern-day results of some of those marriages, in the Tidewater.

"good ghost story"

Only one guy reportedly thought he saw a ghost over almost a five hundred year period.

Sounds like the plot for the movie "High Spirits" ...

Lots of people don’t report these things; like they don’t report UFOs.

There are all sorts of ghost stories - almost every family that has remained relatively intact in terms of recall of family history and stories, has one in their ancestral memory.

Someone has just told me - someone who probably KNOWS - that nobody would have worn a white wedding dress in the 1600s...

In Jamestown, or anywhere? :)

Sorry, I have no idea. The source is likely different for each. Found them on a simple images search for ghost + bride.

I certainly hope that they were tears of happiness!

You cried when she undressed? Again, hope they were tears of happiness and eager anticipation!
