Stokes that prompted your question, Ezekiel Stokes and Charlotte Honeycutt had only one child, a son, John D. Stokes, who was listed as 12 years old in the 1850 Census, thus placing his birth in late 1837 or in the first half of 1838. Given the date of Ezekiel and Charlotte's marriage, January 5, 1838, I think we can assume John D. was born in late spring or early summer 1838. Of course, he may have been born later that year and the 1850 Census information may reflect the anticipated age at his next birthday. On the other hand, it is also possible that Charlotte was already expecting a child when she and Ezekiel married. I do not have a complete list of the children of Charlotte and her second husband, Andrew Jackson Ward, but you will be able to come by this readily enough in checking the Bibb County, Georgia Census records for 1860 and 1870. In 1850, the couple already had five children in addition to Charlotte's son, John D. Stokes. The first five Ward children, with their ages in the 1850 Census, were Amanda, age 8; Sarah, age 6; Josephine, age 4; Douglas, age 2 [named for his grandfather Honeycutt/Hunnicutt], and Thomas, age 5 months. If I remember correctly, the 1850 Census was taken in June, placing Thomas Ward's birth in about February 1850. Again, A.J. and Charlotte may have had other children, which you will find by checking the census records for 1860 and 1870. Christopher Stokes
