i have three PEARSON families that are possibly in my family tree: 1)Arthur N PEARSON b bef1869 IL was a farmer in 1889 md Sallie WILLIAMS b bef1869 MO had a daughter b 31Aug1889 Esmen Township, Livingston, IL 2)Job Pearson b bef1840 md 09Aug1860 Livingston County, IL to Rebecca Ann JENKINS b bef1840 3)Meredith M PEARSON b bef1871 md Ida L DEMOSS b bef1871 had at least two daughters: Edith PEARSON b abt1884 Fairbury, Livingston, IL md 01Jul1902 Livingston County,IL George DREW Mattie Mahala PEARSON b 20Feb1891 Avoca Twp, Livingston, IL was alive in 1954 on N Jackson St Fairbury given a marriage license 14Jul1916 to wed Harry Allen CARTER I've posted a few queries with several surnames on the US Gen Web for Livingston County, IL and the PEARSON name is included but evidently very few people are using that site... i have family group sheets made out on all of the families i've posted at the site and am willing to share the information at the site... although i've asked at the site to keep our correspondence PUBLIC a few have e-mailed me privately and got upset when i asked them to reply ONLY to the site... maybe i'm wrong, but i feel it saves alot of time to post only PUBLIC to newsletters and sites on the US GenWeb for potentially hundreds of researchers to study instead of putting alot of time into PRIVATE e-mails that can take an enormous amount of time and yield NOTHING. dennis On Fri, 20 Oct 2000 23:36:44 -0400 "Gary Nervig" <dannervig@worldnet.att.net> writes: > Susan > Interesting!
