There are records of two marriages and none were to an Elizabeth. He is also listed in the 1860 Georgia census as below: 1860 United States Federal Census about Churchwell Patric Name: Churchwell Patric Age in 1860: 48 Birth Year: abt 1812 Birthplace: North Carolina Home in 1860: District 749, Clay, Georgia Gender: Male Post Office: Fort Gaines Value of real estate: View image Household Members: Name Age Churchwell Patric 48 Elvira Patric 41 Laura E Patric 22 Thomas C Patric 20 Henry H Patric 19 Mary L Patric 17 Purnell C Patric 15 Thresa C Patric 11 Clara Patric 9 Samuel M Patric 8 Johnathan Patric 3 Georgia A Patric 1 The name of his wife and children match with other researcher's trees, as does the age. Why the K is missing off the last name in this census, I do not know, but this is the Pernal line of Churchwell Patrick. So there were two Churchwell Patricks listed in the 1860 census records. One in Georgia and one in Alabama. It is pretty clear that the one in Georgia is the son of Pernal Patrick. I'm still searching from where the one in Alabama is descended from. I believe that he was related in some way to the Pernal line, but I have not found the connection. I think the Alabama Churchwell could have descended from one of Pernal's brothers, either Samuel or James. If your research shows something different, please let me know.
