2197. Judge Samuel William Pegram 1, 2, 3, 4 (Samuel Gilliam , Edward , Daniel , Edward , Daniel , George ) was born 5, 6 on 8 Nov 1847 in Hardeman Co., Tennessee. He died on 16 Jul 1933.

The mother of the first wife of Samuel William and of the wife of his brother John Wesley was Mary Sannover, a half sister of Malinda Sannover, the wife of James B. Taylor, and the mother of Samuel's second wife, Martha Jane Taylor.

The following is from Dr. Simmons: 'The marriage of Samuel William Pegram and Martha Jane Taylor was an elopement. Incidentally, Samuel W. had asked Martha Jane to marry him before he married his first wife, and, was turned down, but she was available on the second-go-round. As related to me by my mother, her father went to Martha Jane's home at night, with an extra horse and a side saddle. No lady would dream of riding astride a horse, even in pitch dark. Martha Jane slipped out of the house and the horse was led beside a rail fence so that she could mount the side saddle. The rail broke and Martha took a spill, prior to mounting the steed and riding away with her beloved. Martha was not missed until morning. Her mother was having words to say about her daughter's elopement. Her husband, James B. Taylor, who was said to be a quiet philosophical sort of fellow, told his wife to "quieten down", that after all Martha was 24 years old. His wife said, 'well she could have waited until after spring house cleaning.' "

Samuel W. apparently did some farming for a short time. Groups of farmers would carry cotton to Memphis where it would be sold, and supplies bought. They would make camp at night, and some of the wives would go along to do the cooking. Memphis is about 75 miles from Falkner, at that time over winding dirt roads, which were very muddy after a rain. Sam, as he was known, must not have farmed very long. He owned, or worked in a store in Falkner. The post office was in the store, therefore he helped out there. The railroad ran by the store and Sam often acted as depot agent, or perhaps he was depot agent. This may have been the McCown Store, since the post office is recorded as being in his store at about that time. In Samuel W's obituary, in the Southern Sentinel of Ripley, Mississippi, on 20 July 1933, it is stated that he was in business in Falkner and later in Ripley. His daughter Ida Pegram Simmons stated that her father did own a store in Falkner, before he opened one in Ripley. He moved to Ripley, the county seat, about 1888 and opened a general mercantile business.
