Thanks Joel for the follow-up. I hit a brick wall on that family. Since the people supplying the data do not give the reason for their suspecting that the marriage took place c1832 in Henry Co GA, it may be misleading in looking for the Susan Diane Pate's ancestors. I had made a notation from my newspaper research that a J J Everett living in Thomas Co GA in 1853 acted as an agent in taking subscriptions for the Southern Baptist Messenger (Primitive Baptist Newspaper.) Checking the 1850 Thomas Co GA census (on a hunch that it might be the same J J Everett) p37A yields the James Everett family. James Everett 45 Farmer bGA Susan Everett 35 bNC Mary Everett 17 bFL Marshall Everett 12 bGA John Everett 10 Thomas Everett 8 Caroline Everett 3 Amanda Everett 2 Source of census: ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/thomas/census/1850/pg0029b.txt Note that Mary Everett, oldest child is born in FL. There is also the possibility that Susan is not the first wife.
