Does anyone know who these people are? I found them on the marriage bond listing of Ezell's in NC. On the same day, William Ezell married Rebecca (Arebeco) Patterson (Parkeson). This could be brothers marrying sisters. Is this "Jasa" a shortened form of James? Any ideas on this? The listing gave the extra names in parentheses-does that mean the transcriber was unsure of the spelling? I would appreciate any help on this. I am trying to find a Parham Ezell who married a Sarah (possibly Sutton) abt 1833/34. Parham's first name could have been James. Thanks, Sherri

Does anyone have information about Daniel & Elizabeth Sutton of the Duplin/Sampson Co area? I am specifically looking for information about their daughter, Sarah, born abt 1815 in Duplin/Sampson Co. Daniel is the son of Elias & Elizabeth Ezzell Sutton. Daniel's mother, Elizabeth Ezzell Sutton, is the daughter of Mikel & Sarah Ezzell of Duplin Co. I am trying to find a Sarah (Sallie) Sutton who married Parham I. Ezell in NC before 1834. Appreciate any help. Sherri

Does anyone know the date of birth/date of death for Benjamin Ezzell son of Mikel and Sarah Ezzell. Benjamin is named in Mikel's will posted in July of 1800.
