Ann, I am sorry; I checked my FTW and have several Martha Pearsons, but none that seem to match. My husband's family came from County Cumberland, England, to Perquiman's County, NC, in the early 1700's. They were Quakers and crossed The Big Pond to escape religious persecution. After several generations they began to "marry out of faith" and left the Society of Friends, moving to Wilkinson County, Georgia. From there they moved to Winston County, Alabama. My husband's grandfather then moved his family to Lee County, MS. Some of the family have lived for a time in Pontotoc County as well. I wish that I could be of assistance and I wish you the best in your search. Linda
