Surnames: DeLong, Pearson/Pierson, Peckham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mFB.2ACE/2653.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi David, No, I am not familiar with Ephraim Pearson of Norwich, Ontario. Do you know anyone researching the Pearson/Pierson family? It appears that the John and Eliza Pearson of Adrian, MI could be the maternal grandparents of my Ann Elizabeth DeLong, daughter of Thomas Gordon DeLong's second marriage. Thomas Gordon DeLong seems to have married a third time before he left for California around 1850. Ann Elizabeth DeLong attended Gainesville Female Seminary in Wyoming Co., NY around 1860, then moved to Norwich, Ontario where she married Charles Peckham on Feb. 1, 1864. Janet Hilliker of the Norwich Archives has been very helpful on providing information on the DeLong family to me. Thank you for your response. Jackie
