Someone posted a search on information on Melvina Pearce recently. I knew I had seen the name and just found it. Robert Daniel Pearce and wife, Leah Bartlett, had a daughter named Melvina, born 1794. She was probably born in Blount County, TN and moved w/ the family to Logan County, Kentucky. There is more information on this family on some of the Bartlett homepages through rootsweb.com. Hope this helps.

Thanks.
