Description: Virginia historic marker for the camp of William Byrd II, who surveyed the dividing line between North Carolina and Virginia, and who passed through Henry County, Virginia, in November 1728. Byrd passed by Matrimony Creek, which was given its name by one of the members of Byrd's surveying party for its turbulent, 'brawling' waters, reminding the man of the state of matrimony.
