Hi All, I found the following record in ‘Old Tuskaloosa Land Office Records & Military Warrants 1821 - 1855’ by Marilyn Davis Barfield. Chapter 4 and page 132. Tuscaloosa Land Office Register of Receipts-Ledger 418 Oct. 1836 - Sept. 1859. Date: 9/29/1834. Name of Purchaser: Elijah Thompson & Elizabeth Pearson. Resides in: Fayette Co. Sec.: 27. Tsp.: 24. Rng.: 3W. I believe that Elijah Thompson is the son of Elizabeth Pearson by her first husband, William Thompson. Elizabeth Prewitt, the daughter of Dudley Pruitt of Union County, SC, married William Thompson. They are suppose to have had twelve children. William was killed around 1817 by a Creek Indian in the Bibb County, AL area. Elizabeth married a second time to John Pierson. They had at least one child. I believe John Pierson died sometime before 1830. I believe Elizabeth Pierson and Elijah Thompson were living with Josiah Thompson in Pickens County, AL in 1830. I believe this Josiah was also her son. By 1840, Elizabeth Pierson and Elijah Thompson were living in Choctaw County, MS, where Elijah was listed as head of the household. By 1850, Elijah had married and had his own family in Choctaw County, MS. Elizabeth Pearson lived nearby as head of a household, with an Ann Thompson. I assume this was either a daughter or daughter-in-law. Also living in the household were three children with the last name Herring. I also believe Elizabeth and her first husband William, had sons named William and James. And perhaps a daughter named, Sarah Thompson that married Elisha B. Todd. These children were also living in Choctaw County, MS in 1840 and 1850. Also living there was a son by Elizabeth’s second husband, named William J. Pearson. I would like to correspond with anyone having knowledge of these families. Most of the above is speculation, based purely on circumstantial evidence. All the Best, Kent
