Linda, I am interested in your Pearsons. My 4great-grandmother was Martha Ann Pearson who married a James Rush in South Carolina, about 1823. This couple migrated to Greene Co,AL about 1832. Their only son, William Henry, b.c 1825 in SC, married in Pontotoc Co,MS Sophronia Singleton. They were my 3grtgrands. Martha Ann (Pearson) Rush was a daughter of John Pearson, of Fairfield Co.,SC and I believe some of his other Pearson descendants wound up in MS, as well. Any of this mesh with any of yours? Ann
