Where and when did he die?

In which censuses have you found the family?

What records have you already searched? (I don't want to tell you things you've already tried.)

This is what I have:
Name:
Alexander Everton
Birth:
1800 - North Carolina, United States
Death:
1855 - Madison, Alabama, United States
Because the census prior to 1800 don't list names, I can't find his parents. I also found his marriage record and his wife.

Have you tried to find a will or probate records for him? Those probably don't have his parents, but could have other relatives or siblings that could help you match him to his family.

Have you looked for an obituary?

Do you know where he is buried?

In which censuses have you found him?

It looks like the 1850 US Census has been mis-transcribed re: his birth location.

It's S. C. [South Carolina] not N. C.

[I'm assuming this is the Alexander Everton you are researching.]

Yes it is. I saw the possibility of it being NC and searched for both locations but no luck. Feel free to look at me tree...lots of people...researching for my daughter-in law's family.
Thank you
