The LDS records, on Film 1761127, show a marriage between James Oates and Mrs Elizabeth Eivans on 11 Sep 1694 in Perquimans; on Batch No F800512 Source Call No 1260814 a marriage between James Oates and Elizabeth Perry on 11 Sep 1694 in Warwick, NC (a place which I never heard of). Eivans is almost certainly a mistake for Evans, as I have an Elizabeth Perry, daughter of Richard Perry (without a birthdate, but her siblings range between 1644 and 1653, all born in London). Micajah Perry�s 1720 will names sister Elizabeth Evans, but we do not have the first name of her husband: there is a supposition that he was Richard Evans of Perquimans. These 2 marriage records point to her remarrying in Perquimans, and thus confirm the supposition. However, even if she was the youngest child of her parents, which is probable, she would have been well into her thirties when she married James Oates. Her brother Micajah's grandson, also Micajah (Mike) Perry, was Lord Mayor of London, 1738-39. The last of the 5 children by her first husband was born 30 Nov 1693. She seems definitely to have had a son with her second husband, born 7 Aug 1797, but there are 2 records which disagree on his name: one gives John and the other Joseph. There are also records showing 2 previous sons, James (b. 1694 - which seems unlikely) and Jethro (b. 1696). My guess would be that somebody found 2 sons from a previous marriage of his, and made up dates to fit in after his marriage to Elizabeth. There is an individual record for James Oates showing birth 1660 Perran Zaboloe, Cornwall, England and death 3 Oct 1703 Albemarle Precinct, Perquimans, NC.
