    3. Jim I don't know if you already have this info, but just in case you don't. Moses and Eleanor PEARSON are buried at the Pearson Family Cemetery. The cemetery is located 4 miles NW of Farmerville. This information is in the Cemetery Inscriptions of Union Parish, LA volume 4 by W. C. Nolan. PEARSON, Eleanor A. PRICE 1804 12 Jun 1879 PEARSON, Moses 14 Oct 1849 Of course, there are several more PEARSON buried in this cemetery. If you would like the others let me know at Adventurers@worldnet.att.net There is no listing for them in the marriage record book that I have, but it doesn't start till about 1842. In the book Some Slaveholders and their Slaves Union Parish, LA 1839-1865 by Harry F. Dill and William Simpson, Moses Pearson is listed several times. Book a-2, P 572 Succession of Moses Pearson, December 1849, died 1849. Mentions widow, Eleanor Pearson, sons, Davis Pearson, William and Jesse Pearson.
