James (1779) Essary's wife was born 1775-1780, and died 1840-1850 [1]
Elizabeth Charles has been assumed to be James Essary's wife since at least the 1980's. The only record of this that I have seen is a marriage in Guilford County, North Carolina, July 18, 1802. That record has been transcribed variously into online databases as Essech, Essex, Essen, and Essary. After viewing an image of the actual record, I must conclude it is most likely Essech, and an Essex genealogist has documented a descendancy of that union.
I will leave her name in place, and her birth and death only as the range that can be determined from her census records with James Essary. But I have no evidence now that she is the daughter of Michael Charles.
