During the winter of 1973,Freddie Sweetan and Mike Dubois worked a program
against Bobby and Terry Kay in the Mid-Atlantic. Didn't they also wrestle each
other in the Maritimes? I saw one of their matches in Winston-Salem.It was
a good one.

Looking at some old results they actually did work a program in the Maritimes also.
 
The Summer of 1972.   Bobby Kay teamed with the Beast against Mike Dubois and Freddie Sweetan.
 
Kay also teamed with Leo Burke against the same duo for a few weeks also.
 
Then Leo Burke teamed with the Beast against them.
 
Looks like either way, the Cormiers could not get along with DuBois and Sweetan.

Weaver made a one week appearance in 72(sounds like a scouting trip), he teamed with Leo Burke to challenge Mike "The Judge" Dubois & Freddie Sweetan. In 75 he stayed from May to Sept..
Les Thatcher worked most of the 70 season, even took over MC duties.
Abe Jacobs worked most of the 71 season.

Two more, they are not so much associated with JCP, but did appear there:
 1970 (ESA) International Tag Team Champions Phil (Buck) Robley and Newfound native Eric Pomeroy (Stan Pulaski in M-A)

Eric Pomeroy was one half of the Southern Tag Team Champions for Jim
Crockett Promotions during part of 1963. He was advertised as Stan Pulaski
for a Greensboro,NC card on April 27,1972. For some reason he did not show.
Swede Hanson took his place that night against Bobby Kay. If he ever actually
wrestled a match in JCP as Stan Pulaski,I just can't remember it.

So he was Eric Pomeroy in 63, I must have misread that somewhere.
