Charles & Susan Evans 1850 census King George Co. VA

This following a record of the 1850 census.
 I have not been able to find anything else about Charles and Susan earlier than thison line. I have been told that her family  was Prior. Now I have seen in the 1830 or 1840 KG census that there is a Nancy Evans who is a close neighbor to a Prior woman and as I have noticed these farmers aren't looking very far for wives and husbands. There are some discrepancies in Charles' age if you look at the 1860 census I believe he is still around the same age.  The daughter that is listed as Ann Evans is I believe the same Susanna (Evans) that is married to Bassett Bumbry since in the 1860 census they are in the the same page ogf the census and the the ages match as well. I would like some verification if someone can help me out with that. I also suspect that Peggy is the Margaret Evens that marries  Randolph Pinkard in 1867 although there is something funky in that marriage too, which I'll touch on later. I would appreciate some help there too, if someone can verify that. Somewhere I recollect seeing Charles death record, I'll post that when I find it. I believe the cause of death was listed as dropsy.
