Need evidence of Mary Bateman's death and marriage
Douglas Phelps 8/12/03
I now have clear evidence that Mary Bateman of Perquimans County, NC die NOT marry the James Phelps of Caswell County, NC.The James Phelps of Perquimans County who could have married Mary Bateman died years before the James of Caswell. Based on the records in nearby Gates and Tyrrell counties, the many James Phelps in that area also did not marry a Mary Bateman and then move to Caswell co.Any one with supportive information who can refute this is welcomed to respond or contact me directly
It is true however that a Mary Bateman did marry a Phelps in Perquimans in the early 1700s.
