Name Home in 1860 (City,County,State) Age in 1860 Estimated Birth Year Birthplace Gender Craven Pearson Southern District, Loudoun, VA 77 1782 Virginia Male Ann Pearson Southern District, Loudoun, VA 73 1786 Virginia Female (note that in 1850 wife was Sarah, who would be 68 in this census? a different wife perhaps?) John Rusk Southern District, Loudoun, VA 32 1827 Virginia Male Susan Rusk Southern District, Loudoun, VA 31 1828 Virginia Female John G Rusk Southern District, Loudoun, VA 3 1856 Virginia Male Edgar Rusk Southern District, Loudoun, VA 2 1857 Virginia Male Harriet Pearson Southern District, Loudoun, VA 15 1844 Virginia Female (fits Harriet of James Pierson household in 1850) George Pearson Southern District, Loudoun, VA 11 1848 Virginia Male (fits George of James Pearsons household in 1850) Isabella Holliday Southern District, Loudoun, VA 18 1841 Virginia Female Craven is listed as a farmer, John Rusk as a laborer ******************** 1850 ---Tsp, Loudon Co, VA Craven Pearson household Craven, 65 Sarah, 58 May, 30 Nancy, 28 John, 12 (could this be a grandson - Sarah would be 46 when this boy was born, a bit old for the times?? Listed as Pearson, but perhaps he is Cockvile?) Cockvile children as follows: William, 10 Richard, 8 May, 6 ?Betey?, 4 Cockvile children could be the children of daughters May or Nancy, or perhaps a different daughter, or ???) ********************* 1850 Ashby Dist., Farquier Co, VA last name spelled differently, but has a Craven, so suspect this is a grandson of your Craven? Pierson George, 37 May, 35 Ann 14 May E. 12 Susan, 10 Jno W. 8 Craven 6 George D. 4 Martha 21 (Who is this Martha? a sister, daughter, name incorrect as Pierson?) Isham Embry 22 (who is this man - perhaps a laborer, or spouse of a daughter - perhaps Martha?) Martha 2 (listed as Pierson, but could she be daughter of Martha & Isham?? Seems not from 1870 census.) ************ 1850 next door to George Pierson, James, 40 Amanda, 28 Thomas 15 James 13 Nancy 11 May 9 Edward 3 George 2 Ann 4/12 Harriett, 7 ************* Since they are next door, possibly related, and the repeating of names probably makes them worth a look. They are the right age to be 2 of the sons in 1830 census. Next door to James is Rhuben Cockval, 60. This may be a connection to the "Cockvile" in Craven Pearson's household in 1850. A guess would be that a daughter of Craven's married a Cockvile. At least something to research. Cockvile could be Cockrell or a variety of spellings. Above is how it looked to me on census. ************* Southern district, Loudoun County, VA Craven Pearson is listed in the 1860 slave schedule - it looks like he employed a slave, rather than owned one. It looks like a 9 year old black male, owned by V. Humphrey. ******************* This would appear to be the Isham Embry with George Pierson household in 1850. But where is little Martha? - She is still in the George Pierson household. Why would George have 2 daughters named Martha - he probably wouldn't.

Note that the Craven, age 6 on 1850 is listed as Caren - but the census looks to me like Caven. George is an overseer.
