We are indebted to Morris McKinney of Virginia Beach, Virginia for his great work on the McKinney-Gibbs descendants of Julia Pegram and Seth Washington Gibbs. Unless otherwise noted, what we have on this line has been generously shared by Morris McKinney.

Others have given her birthdate as c. 1824 but she is shown to be only 20 years old on the 1850 census of Hyde Co., North Carolina.

Julia married 1 Seth Washington Gibbs on 9 Feb 1854 in Hyde Co., North Carolina. Seth was born on 21 Apr 1810 in Hyde Co., North Carolina. He died on 12 Jun 1880 in Hyde Co., North Carolina. He was buried in Jun 1880 in Seth Washington Gibbs Cemetery, Hyde Co., North Carolina.

Seth Washington Gibbs was married previously and is shown with his first wife on the 1850 Census of Hyde Co. His first wife apparently died between 1850 and the estimated date of his marriage to Julia in 1852.

237. Singleton George W. Pegram 1 (Zachariah , Daniel , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 2, 3 in 1825 in Warren Co., North Carolina. He died in 1883 in Hyde Co., North Carolina.

There was possibly another child born to the marriage of Singleton and Nancy Harriett. However, on the 1870 census there is another child, Hannah, age 25 living in the household. We have been unable to locate him on the 1860 Census.

He is listed on the 1874 tax list in the Currituck District of Hyde County, North Carolina.

Singleton married (1) Nancy Harriett about 1848 in Hyde Co., North Carolina. Nancy was born in 1825 in North Carolina.

1033 M iii Thomas James "T.J." Moss was born on 2 Feb 1895. He died on 19 Aug 1986.

244. Cynthia Pegram (John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born on 11 Oct 1790 in Warren Co., North Carolina. She died about 1834 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

It seems possible that Cynthia died shortly after the birth of her youngest child, Cynthia. Since Cynthia was born in Tennessee and all the older children show they were born in North Carolina, we can only assume that Aaron and Cynthia went to Tennessee between 1832 and 1834.

Cynthia married Aaron Shearin. Aaron was born 1 in 1789 in Warren Co., North Carolina. He died in 1862 in Obion Co., Tennessee.

Thanks to Melody Aslin, who believes her Shearin ancestor was a sister of Aaron's, we now know more about our Aaron and the children he had by Cynthia. Aaron went to Abion Co., Tennessee. While we have maintained the original spelling of the name, Aaron and his family most often used the spelling of Sherron but the public records have almost every possible variation so do be careful when doing any research for the descendants of Aaron and Cynthia in Tennessee.

The 1830 Census of Guilford Co., North Carolina shows Aaron Shearin as HH with the following:

2 males under 5; 1 male 5-10; 2 males 10-15 and 1 male 15-20 and 1 male 45-50;
2 fem. under 5; 1fem. 5-10; 1 fem. 10-15; 1 fem. 15-20 and 1 female 30-40.

Based on this, it would appear that Aaron and Cynthia had 6 boys and 6 girls. Considering that there was 1 male and 1 female between 15-20, we can say the couple was married between 1810 and 1815.

Aaron's Will probated in Obion Co., Tennessee names his children: Elizabeth Barham, Francis Barham, James Shearin, Parthena Pritchett, Lucretia Thedford, Moses Shearin, Henry Shearin, Nancy Patrick, Jane Magee, Wiley Shearin, Cynthia Rogers and N.K. Shearin. The executors of his Will were his son, N.K. Shearin and James Haley. James Haley was probably the father or brother of his second wife, Elizabeth Hailey.

They had the following children:

1034 M i Henry Shearin was born about 1819. He died before 1870.
1035 F ii Frances Shearin was born about 1820.

  1037 F iv Elizabeth Shearin was born about 1820 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.
        Elizabeth married Nathan Barham on 17 Dec 1835 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.
  1038 M v Nathaniel K. Shearin was born 1, 2 about 1821 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

In 1850 he was living next to his father. His age shown on the 1850 Census is 31 so he was probably the oldest son of Aaron and Cynthia Pegram Shearrin. His wife was not in the home in 1850. It should be noted that the BM was listed as Arthur Barron (?Barham).In 1860, he was living in the home of his sister, Frances Barham, where his name is shown as Killsaw.
        Nathaniel married (1) Elizabeth Wilson on 13 Feb 1844 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.

1040 M vii Moses S. Shearin was born about 1827. He died in 1868.
1041 F viii Martha Jane Shearin was born in 1831.
1042 F ix Lucretia (Louisa) Shearin was born about 1832.
1043 F x Nancy J. Shearin was born in 1832.
1044 F xi Cynthia N. Shearin was born about 1834.
