Comments: At this point in time, we will give Dorcas the benefit of the doubt and assume she was married to a Shiflett. We don't know who he was. We have found her on two records so far. If she was married, her husband probably died before 1815, otherwise Lucy's father would have confirmed she was over 21. The following document was sent in by Ruth Porter rsp6212@gmail.com

Orange County, VA Marriage Bonds Book 2 p. 9
[This is on a small about 6" piece of paper attached to p. 9]
July the 23rd 1787
Sir: John Michie is about to marry my daughter Frances Early and has applied to me for my consent for which I have hereby signified under my hand and seal.
Sanford Phillips                                                  Thedoshe Early
Darcos Shiflett

We also have:
Lucy Shiflet m. Robin [Robert] Davis 15 Mar 1815, min John Gibson; mr 16 Mar 1815; sur William Davis (father of Robert) who gives his consent and also affirms Lucy over 21, wit David Rodes; daughter of Darky[?] Shiflett
