  Family	John HERBERT,   b. c. 1718, Norfolk Co, Virginia Colony d. 1761 (Age 43 years)
  Marriage	c. 1746  [3, 4, 5]
  	Capt. Thomas Herbert's Norfolk County will of 17 Jun 1749 named John and Judith's eldest child, Margaret and alluded to a second child in his son John's family that had been conceived, but had yet to be born. Using this knowledge and applying the generally accepted rule of thumb that prior to 1850 a couples's first child arrived within a year of marriage and subsequent births usually occured at two year intervals thereafter [the intervals grew slightly as a woman aged], John and Judith's marriage date may be estimated as c. 1746.
