1850 Census of Guilford Co., NC shows John W. Pegram (22); Alice B. (24) and John G. (8mo). He and his wife apparently moved to Daviess Co., MO. shortly thereafter. John appears to have died before May 2, 1853 when we find the following in the Guilford Co., NC deed records showing that John is now deceased and that his father has also died.

        Caroline married 1 John Frank Lemmons (Lemons) on 8 Jan 1891 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. John was born 2, 3 in Oct 1865 in Rockingham Co., North Carolina.

The 1900 Census shows the couple have been married for 9 years and have no children. Living with the couple is Amy O. Lemons, mother of John Frank Lemons.

The marriage license for the couple lists his name as F. J. Lemons. He is shown as John Lemons on the 1880 Census and then as Frank Lemons on the 1900 Census of Rockingham Co., North Carolina.

In 1900 she is found living with her daughter, Elizabeth J. Martin and Elizabeth's 2 children, George M. Martin and Nancy Martin. The 1900 Census incorrectly shows she has had only 1 child because we know of 5 who lived to adulthood. Her son, John Henry Pegram, is living next door.

        Miranda married Jacob Hultz about 1907. Jacob was born 1 in 1844 in Indiana. He died before 1930.

Miranda may have been previously married. The 1910 Census shows the couple have been married for 3 years and that this was the 2nd marriage for both. However, Miranda shows she has had no children.

On the 1900 Census of Guilford Co., North Carolina, she is living with her son, John Pegram and his wife Julia. The census shows she has had 7 children with 6 living. This would appear to be an error since there are 9 children shown on the 1880 census being all except Amanda and John Henry. We know that John Henry had married 1879. We do not know about Amanda.

They had the following children:

1333 M i John Henry Pegram was born on 29 Jan 1856. He died on 23 Feb 1929.
1334 F ii Amanda Jane Pegram was born on 15 Jan 1857. She died on 8 Nov 1913.

In 1900 he is found as a single man, living in Wilmington, Delaware. His occupation is given as "Car-Builder."
  1343 F xi Lillie Pegram was born 1 about 1874 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died 2 on 28 May 1960 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

Her death certificate gives her father's name as Calvin Pegram, which we can not explain. We have examined the possibility that there is an unknown Calvin Pegram in Guilford Co. about this period but can not find anyone. Further, the information on the marriage of Lillie Pegram came from family members many years ago. Until we obtain additional information, we must assume that Calvin was a nickname used by Jesse. There were other Pegrams in early Guilford Co. with the middle name of Calvin but none that we are aware of who could have been the father of LIllie.
        Lillie married 1 John H. Lofton on 30 Oct 1900 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

311. James H. Pegram 1 (George , Edward , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 2, 3 on 8 Apr 1832 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. He died on 30 Dec 1908.

The 1900 Census of Guilford Co., North Carolina shows that Laura F. Pegram, born October 1876 is living with James and is identified as his neice. Also living with them is Laura's daughter Lessie C., age 7 months.

James married 1 Diana Malinda Talley daughter of Nicholas Talley and Jane Elizabeth Clampitt on 4 Oct 1855 in Forsyth Co., North Carolina. Diana was born 2 in Mar 1829 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died on 17 Dec 1914 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

We are not certain that Julia was his only wife. On the 1880 Census, his wife's name is given as Elizabeth, indicating that he may have married a 2nd time.

  1348 F i Luzena Pegram was born 1 in 1868 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died before 1880 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.
