There are several trees that list his and Margaret's wedding date as Nov 30, 1767 Place: Bertie County, North Carolina but there are no official records except one that list the marriage date as 1775 Place North Carolina.

This is important because there are many trees that show children born before the year 1775 including

Jesse Jernigan which says was born 04/04/1775 which only leaves 4 months and 4 days to get married and have a child and that is assuming William and Margaret got married on January 1st..

Is it possible two different Williams married two different Margaret Evens?
