Bathsheba Barton and Nathaniel Pearson are my g-g-grandparents. Nathaniel was born in VA, 1804, child of John R. Pearson and Rebecca Wright. They came to Warren Co. KY from Brunswick Co. VA with a group of travelers in 1808. He married Bathsheba Barton, daughter of Bavister Barton and Elizabeth (?) in Warren Co. KY on 4 Feb 1825. She also was born in 1804, but in KY. They left Warren Co. KY with 2 young children, Alexander and Piety, and settled in Montgomery Co. IL. The 3rd child, John Bentley (my line) was born there in 1829. Bathsheba and Nathaniel are on both the 1830 and 1850 census of Montgomery Co. IL. I cannot find them anywhere in the 1840 census, but other researchers have suggested either Fayette or Clinton Cos. The other 6 children are: Mary, Henry, Elizabeth, Fanny, Leroy, and William. Bathsheba died 1856/57; Nathaniel, with Leroy and William, moved back to Warren Co. KY --- they appear on the 1860 census. Nathaniel can also be found on the 1870 and 1880 enumerations. I have more info and will be happy to share on Bartons and Pearsons.
