"I recollect many pleasant occasions when I rode over to Mr. Gresham's, tied my horse and sat through the long summer evenings on the veranda with Jessie, in the soft Southern moonlight, with the night wind perfume-laden with the scent of jasmine and other Southern blossoms, and I considered myself fortunate beyond words if no other of the neighbourhood beaux and gallants rode up to intrude upon my happy hours with her".
On December 19, 1869, they were married at Mattaponi Church, in the presence of a large assemblage of friends and relatives. The ceremony was performed by the groom's brother, Rev. John Pollard, D.D., asssited by Rev. Alfred Bagby, D.D., an uncle of the bride.
They had constructed and lived at "Edgewood" on a tract sold to them by Henry's father that was part of the family plantation in King and Queen County. They later moved to Richmond.
