Children of Pride was one of, but far from the only, source used in our book.

According to the database underlying the book, Quarterman Family of
Liberty County, Georgia, and Relatives, yes, there is a direct relation:

 Effie Young QUARTERMAN, child of
 John Way QUARTERMAN, child of
 Adaline WAY, child of
 John WAY Jr., child of
 John WAY Sr., child of
 Edward WAY, child of
 William WAY, child of
 William WAY, child of
 Aaron WAY Sr..            

I believe you'll find the sources for each step in the book.

I don't know of a General John Screven.  We do have a Gen. James Screven.
He appears to be related indirectly by marriage:

 James SCREVEN, father of
 Mary Esther SCREVEN, mother of
 Odinsel Witherspoon HART, spouse of
 Mary Caroline STEVENS, child of
 Elizabeth Sumner WINN, child of
 Nancy (Ann?) SUMNER, child of
 Edward Way SUMNER, child of
 Elizabeth WAY, child of
 Aaron WAY, child of
 Aaron WAY Sr..

The sources for those steps are also in the book.

We're always interested in further sources, criticisms, etc.
