Here is a marriage article transcibed from the July
28th 1797 issue of the Columbian Muleum newspaper

Married, on the 21st inst. by the Rev. Mr. Monteath,
Mont. James Desvergers, to Mad. Martha de la rue, both
of  St. Domingo.

NOTES:
The name Delarue and Desvergers are french names.
Sapelo island, an island of the coast of McIntosh
County , in the middle to late 1700's was owned by the
french. Delarue and Desvergers, as best I can tell,
were refugees from the slave insurrection of 1795 on
Santo Domingo, and came to Sapelo Island where they
met and married.

Some of the Desvergers, now spelling last name
Deverger, still live on lands that have been owned by
the family for two hundred years here in McIntosh
County.
