Hi: Evan PEARSON is my gg grandfather, (c1795-c1854). He first appears of record to my knowledge in the 1830 Habersham Federal Census. Also in the 1830 Habersham Census is a Moses PEARSON. In the 1840 Habersham Census is a Noah PEARSON. Evan PEARSON was an itinerant Baptist preacher. Any ideas about where I could look for other records of their lives in Habersham County. Do any Baptist Church records in Habersham County go back that far? Are any of these heads of household a part of a family tree being constructed at present or in the past? Thank you.

I'm searching for a marriage record abt. 1864 for Levi JACKSON & Sophronia JAY in either Habersham or White County. Sophronia stated in a 1904 affadavit that they were "married by Rev. Brooks and lived about 8 miles from Williams Store" but she couldn't remember if it was in Habersham or White County. She was 16 years old and he was abt. 54 years old. He was previously married to Jemima, and they are in the 1860 White County census with 13 children. Levi obtained land in Habersham (later White) in the 1832 lottery and lived there from that time until abt. 1870. I recently visited the White County Courthouse & library but could not find a marriage record for Levi & Sophronia or a death record for Jemima (the affadavit states that she had been dead for some time before Levi's 2nd marriage so her death date would be 1860-64). Any information or connections to JACKSON or JAY appreciated! Ann
