Descendants of George Pegram
Seventh Generation
(Continued)


1041. Martha Jane Shearin (Cynthia Pegram , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1, 2, 3, 4 in 1831 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

It has been assumed that William Carroll, the eldest son of Martha Jane Shearin, was the son of Wyly (Wiley) McGee. However, Wiley McGee is single and living at home in 1850 but Martha Jane was not found with her family, indicating she had already married. There is nothing on the 1860 or 1870 Census to indicate otherwise but on the 1880 Census, William is clearly shown as William Carroll. The belief that he was the son of her first marriage to Arthur Carroll is supported by the fact that Arthur Carroll and wife Jane are living next to her brother, James Shearin on the 1850 Census of Obion Co. Also, the 1880 Census shows Meredith Carroll to be living next to Martha Jane and her new husband, David Maberry. Living in the home of Meredith Carroll is Fannie B. Carroll who is identified as his sister. However, she is clearly named Fannie B. Carroll and not Fannie B. McGee.

She is shown as HH on the 1870 Census with the same 4 children as shown on the 1860 Census, plus a daughter, Lucretia. Also, Merda's name is written differently on the 1870 Census and looks more like Meredith.

She shows she was born in North Carolina on both the 1860 and 1870 Census of Obion Co., Tennessee.

Martha married 1, 2 (1) Arthur Carroll about 1849. Arthur was born 3, 4 about 1824 in Tennessee. He died 5 on 14 Jul 1855 in Obion Co., Tennessee. He was buried 6 in Elbridge Cemetery, Obion, Tennessee.

They had the following children:

  3530 M i William Carroll was born 1, 2 in 1851.
3531 M ii Meredith N. Carroll was born in Nov 1852. He died on 1 Oct 1921.
  3532 F iii Fanny Bell Carroll was born 1, 2 in 1856.

Martha married (2) Wyly McGee. Wyly was born 1 in 1818 in Tennessee.

They had the following children:

  3533 M iv James M. McGee was born 1, 2 in 1859.
  3534 F v Lucretia McGee was born 1, 2 in 1860 in Obion Co., Tennessee.

Martha married (3) David Maberry. David was born about 1810 in North Carolina.

1042. Lucretia (Louisa) Shearin (Cynthia Pegram , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born about 1832 in North Carolina.

Lucretia married Constant Thedford on 12 Oct 1843 in Gipson Co., Tennessee. Constant was born 1 in 1827 in Tennessee.

They had the following children:

  3535 M i William Thedford was born in 1853 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.
  3536 M ii John Thedford was born in 1854 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.

1043. Nancy J. Shearin (Cynthia Pegram , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1 in 1832 in Tennessee.

In 1850, Nancy is HH with her 2 young children. Her sister Cynthia is also shown living with her. However, Cynthia was enumerated twice on the 1850 Census. Once with her father and then with her sister.

Nancy married (1) James M. Pounds on 2 Feb 1846 in Gibson Co., Tennessee. James was born in 1825 in Tennessee. He died before 1850.

They had the following children:

  3538 M i Aaron Pounds was born 1 in 1848 in Gibson Co., Tennessee. He died before 1860 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.

It is possible that he was living with other family members but he is not found on the 1860 Census.
  3539 F ii Lucy Pounds was born 1, 2 in 1849 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.

She is shown as Lucy Patrick on the 1850 Census so it is possible that she may have been adopted by Jesse Patrick.

Nancy married (2) Jesse Patrick on 5 Jan 1852 in Gibson Co., Tennessee. Jesse was born 1 in 1825 in Tennessee.

They had the following children:

  3540 M iii William Patrick was born 1 about 1853 in Gibson Co., Tennessee.

In 1860 the family is found in Whiteville Township, Jefferson Co., Arkansas. They must have moved to Arkansas between 1855 and 1858 since only the youngest child on the 1860 census, Harmon Lee, was born in Arkansas.

Jesse enlisted in Co. K, 18th Arkansas Infantry, at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, February 22, 1862; appointed second corporal, June 13, 1862; wounded at Corinth, Mississippi, October 4, 1862; promoted first corporal; absent on sick furlough; no further information; filed Federal land patents in Jefferson county in 1860 and 1861.

We only found the name of her first husband, John Henry Branson, from the death certificate of her daughter, Elizabeth Jane Branson Johnson.

She was already a widow in 1860 and living next to her aunt, Parthenia Thomason and brother Isaiah. In 1870 she had remarried and her three children by her first marriage were living in the home. In 1880, she is again a widow. Only James Cook and John Cook remain in her home. Living next door is William D. Branson, age 25, with his family. This is no doubt her son who married Elizabeth Pegram. Next to William D. Branson is the family of James Pegram and wife, Malinda.

In 1900 she and her son James are boarders in the home of John H. Cook who is probably a relative of her late husband Aaron Cook. The 1900 Census reflects she has had 5 children, all living.
