"I speculated that a Sarah Greathouse age 30-40 of Newton County, GA in 1830 might be a widow of Abraham Greathouse (Sr). Although you call her Sarah Curley, I think it may be that Sarah age 26-45 in 1820 is an older daughter of Abraham Sr. and Abraham is a widower in 1820. The son Early b. 4 Oct 1810 could easily be the male under 10 in Abram's home in 1810, I would SPECULATE that he is the illigitimate son of Sarah and grandson of Abram Sr. As I pointed out in my paper, Guardian Bk. b. Clark Co. GA. shows Isaac Dunderburk appointed guardian for Pernate and Pernine, bastard children of Sarah Greathouse. Presumably these were twins who died before the 1820 census, but Early could likely have been an earlier bastard child of Sarah's. Sarah may have never been married. I don't know where the surname Curley came from."
