This is my gg grandmother, born (I believe) in Sumner Co, TN, married Timothy P. Ledford in Gallatin Co. IL between 1830 - 1836, known children 1)Elizabeth Jane Ledford b. 1838 Gallatin, m. John Q. Norman, d. 1915 2)John B. Ledford b. 1840 Gallatin, d. 1861 Saline Co, 3) Simpson Ledford b. 1841 Gallatin d.1854 Saline 4) James K.P. Ledford b. 1843 Gallatin m. Elmira Stiff, d. 1888 Saline Co., 5) Solomon H. Ledford, b. 1847 Saline, d. 1916 Saline
Lucy/Louisiana/Ann married 2nd John B. Williford 4 Nov. 1851 Saline Co, 1 child, my ggrandfather, Harrison Wilson Williford b. 1852 Saline Co.
Through searching probate records of Lucy/Louisiana/Ann, John B., and other court records, I find name of John Simpson Pearson/Pierson in several documents, and on 1840 Gallatin Co US Census, there is Henry Pearson and Thomas Pearson on same page as Timothy P. Ledford. I believe Henry is Lucy's father and Thomas her brother (as well as John Simpson Pearson) but cannot find definitive proof of this. Also surname Hays/Hayes. Anyone with connections to these families who can help? Haven't found birth recs for Lucy, either. Thank you in advance!
