Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10712 Surname: EASON, HAY, HAYS, PATE, ROBINSON, ROBERTSON ------------------------- Clyde, I have Benjamin PATE (ca. 1805 Warren Co, GA-ca. 1883 St. Clair Co, AL), m. 01 JAN 1829 in Jones Co, GA to Nancy HAYS (ca. 1808 SC-1850's? Muscogee Co, GA?). Nancy is said to be the daughter of Joshua HAYS, who was next door to them on the 1830 census of Talbot Co, GA, I believe. I do not know if or how Benjamin is connected to the PATES in Coosa Co, but he and Nancy did have a granddaughter named Mary Jane. Some of their children went to Crenshaw and Conecuh Counties, AL, where they still have descendants. Also, I came across the following record, which may connect to your family: Sebb PATE [Joseph S.] married 09 APR 1893 in Walker Co, AL, to Mary Jane EASON, at the residence of the bride, by W. L. RICE, Preacher; security is B. M. HAY (Book C, p. 60; license date 07 APR 1893). I am also interested in your ROBERTSON connection. I have ROBINSON (=ROBERTSON in some records) in Talbot Co, GA, who were later connected to the PATES and allied families. John in TX
