I am trying to locate a marriage record of Samuel Sutherland/Southerland and Diana Price. This took place April 8, 1752, so it may have to come from Amelia County. My source said it was Prince Edward County. Can anyone help me with this?

Since Prince Edward was established in 1754 (from Amelia), you are correct. This record would be located in Amelia County.
Samuel Southerland was member of the first grand jury in Prince Edward and served in the May Court, 1754. He was a member of a team that conducted the processioning of land in 1760. He was also selected to "view" a new road in the Sandy Ford area in April 1767.
The above information is contained in the "History of Prince Edward County, Virginia" by Herbert Clarence radshaw.

I am looking for the Southerland who married Francis Penick . She was sister of Judith Penick Sr .I have wondered if Samuel was Francis husband and a possible 2nd marriage for him. Since her Francis sister Judith is right age. Judith Penick's daus in her will in PE married Tuggle,Boatwright,Bagley,Morton,Baldwin,Sanders,Arnold all of PE and of course her dau Judith Jr married Abraham McGehee . Or possibly one of Samuels sons (2 were in Rev War from PE) married Francis Penick. Pat

I should have looked at my own documented records before I posted.
But in any case Frances Penick married Philemon Southerland who is son of Samuel and Diana. She is the dau of Judith Walker and William Penick 1737-1816(son of William Penick/Pennock and Judith Paite).I have all the other info if anyone wants it.
However, Philemon was born in Goochland Co VA 1755 and died in Henry Co 1811.He was in Rev War as a Pvt under Capt Morgan.John Morgan married Philemon 's wifes sister Tabitha Penick.
Since Philemon was born in Goochland Co circa 1755 I would suggest that is where to look for marriage of Samuel and his wife Diana. The name is also spelled Sutherland .

Goochland is a burned Co . It was formed from Henrico Co 1728 and Samuel was born in abt 1727 in Henrico in the portion that became Goochland.
Where they lived in Goochland became Cumberland in 1749 and then from Cumberland was formed Powhattan in 1777. This was where the French Huguenots were living when they came 1704 in what became Goochland. It is also where most of the families lived that I listed earlier and who had removed to Pr Ed Co ... The burned records in Goochland make it difficult to search.If Samuel married after 1749 then it could be in Cumberland.
In any case it lists Samuels parents as George Sutherland Jr and Judith Sanders of Henrico. (Judith Sanders of Henrico must have had a first husband Sanders as her parents are listed as Wm and Judith DePriest) His parents were George Southerland Sr and Elizabeth Norment.

Pat, thanks for this message. I have been in VA for this past week and only returned today.I have been spending a great deal of time in Franklin County VA trying to find more about Phileman and when and where he was born. I saw his home while I was there and took a picture of it (not digital). He was quite a wealthy land owner, having more than 3000 acres of beautiful land.
I have reservations about the Samuel that was born in 1727 being Philemon's father. Of course, that is another story. In your research of this family, have you ever come across Mordecai and Ransom Sutherland? Both of these men were born in VA. Mordecai named his first born Samuel. Ransom named his first born Philip. If the naming pattern is correct, these two may be cousins and not brothers.
I really appreciate your message and perhaps we will be able to piece this family together.
I don't know where you live, but I have digital phone service and no long distance charges. I am in North Carolina and would really like to speak with you. If you are agreeable, please send me your phone number and I'll make the call.
