1820 Georgia Census for P*rdue
1820 Census Jefferson County, Georgia
It is unknown who was the father of this William Pardue. He appears to have been born before 1760 from other records that appear to pertain to him. He lived close to Richard Pardue, the son of John Pardue, who died 1769 in Bute County, North Carolina, but a birth year prior to 1760 would likely rule him out as a son of Richard, though, a story of one of his descendants seems to indicate that William lived on or near the Pee Dee River in North Carolina at some point, seemingly in the area that Richard lived in Anson County in 1790. So he may be younger than he appears to have been from the few references for him. Richard's move to Edgefield County, South Carolina also puts him near Richard in the 1790s.
Genealogy is never done; it is always a work in progress!
