Mike, I've just recently been able to find info on my Pearce line. In it I have a Pyrant McGhee/McKee/McGehee b. 1795 Va married Jemima Margaret Pearce and had a whole passle of kids: Rhoda, Henderson, Evaline, Zarah, Cecil, Moses, Lucinda, William, Emily, Susan, Thomas, Robert. Pyrant died in 1838 in Gallatin Co. Any thing sound familiar?
