Somehow I sent this before finishing. Anyway...Joseph Cardwell SCALES married Sarah Elizabeth SOYARS who was the daughter of James and Jane SOYARS, according to the PCVA Marriage Record. James and (Sarah) Jane are in the 1860 PCVA Census as follows: Sayers, James, Jr. 23 Farmer Virginia Sarah 20 Virginia Elizabeth 1 Virginia I suspect that James is the son of James and Elizabeth Fowlks SOYARS. Elizabeth died 9 Jul 1858 of Flux. James is in the 1850 PCVA census as follows: James Soyars 62 VA Farmer $2500 Elizabeth 52 VA Elizabeth Sims 26 VA James 8 VA Joseph Soyars 21 VA Laborer Sally 19 VA James 17 VA Laborer William 15 VA Phillip 9 VA Rebecca 7 VA In the 1860 Census James is listed with William, Phillip, and Rebecca. In the 1870 Census, Sarah SOYARS, wife of James Jr., is listed as follows: <<...>> I presume that James Jr. died between 1860 and 1870, but I don't have the death records for those years and I don't find him buried in OE Pilson's cemetery book. Any ideas?????
