Descendants of George Pegram
Seventh Generation
(Continued)


1053. John Wyatt Pegram (Jesse , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1 in Dec 1834 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. He died after 1887 in Mercer Co., West Virginia.

The 1900 Census shows the couple have been married for 25 years. They have had 3 children, all living in the home.

John married 1 Almeda Burgess daughter of Hiram Burgess and Nancy Prince about 1875 in West Virginia. Almeda was born 2, 3, 4 in Jan 1851 in West Virginia. She died on 12 Dec 1929 in Mercer Co., West Virginia.

In 1920 she is shown as a widow. Her son, Ernest, is living with her.

Almeda's father can only be determined by checking the names of the siblings who were born prior to 1850, and living in the home at the time of the 1850 census, and comparing with the siblings who are in the home at the time of the 1860 census since Hiram died prior to 1860.

They had the following children:

  3592 M i Ernest D. Pegram was born 1, 2 in Sep 1876 in Mercer Co., West Virginia. He died before 1930 in Gardner, Mercer Co., West Virginia.

In 1910 he was listed as a patient in the mental hospital in Roane Co., West Virginia. In 1920 he was living at home with his mother.
3593 M ii Charles Richard (Charlie) Pegram was born on 24 Nov 1882. He died on 29 Jul 1926.
3594 M iii Henry Whitt Pegram was born on 4 Feb 1886. He died in 1941.

1054. Parthenia (Polly) Pegram (Jesse , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 1 about 1836 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died before 1870 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

We are placing Parthenia as the wife of Thomas Winfree even though we have no family records at this time to support this. There were a number of Pegram females names Parthenia during the mid-1800s and Parthenia is the only one we are aware of who was the right age and not otherwise accounted for during this period.

Parthenia married 1 Thomas Winfree on 22 Aug 1858 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. Thomas was born 2, 3 about 1823 in Stokes Co., North Carolina.

This was apparently a second marriage for Thomas since there is an older child, Lucy Winfrey, age 19, in the home at the time of the 1860 census.

They had the following children:

  3595 F i Sarah Winfrey was born 1, 2 about 1859 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.
  3596 F ii Susan Winfrey was born 1 about 1861 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

1057. Susan Pegram 1 (Jesse , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born about 1846 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died on 22 Dec 1921 in Middle Fork, Forsyth Co., North Carolina.

We are indebted to Margaret Gafford who has generously shared her research on this line.

She had the following children:

3597 M i Charles Jesse Pegram was born on 2 Apr 1875. He died on 17 Jul 1941.

1058. Robert Wesley Pegram (Baker , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born on 18 Feb 1824 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. He died on 10 May 1885 in Surry Co., North Carolina.

Robert married Phebe Ann Bryan daughter of William K. Bryan and Charlotte Woodruff on 5 Dec 1855 in Surry Co., North Carolina. Phebe was born on 18 Nov 1831 in Ashe Co., North Carolina. She died in 1892.

In 1900 she is still living with her sisters and her occupation is listed as teacher.
        Phobe married Hilleman H. Baughan on 11 Sep 1901 in Surry Co., North Carolina. Hilleman was born 1 about 1872 in Georgia.

  3605 F viii Aurora Pegram was born 1 in May 1880 in Surry Co., North Carolina.

1059. Martha Ann Pegram 1 (Baker , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 2, 3, 4 on 2 Jun 1825 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. She died on 17 Jan 1912. She was buried in Bethel United Methodist Church Cemetery.

In 1870 she and her children are found living with her father and sister.

The 1880 Census of Oak Ridge, Guilford Co., North Carolina, Page 305C shows:

Martha Gordon Self F W W 54 NC
Charles Gordon Son M S W 25 NC
Muns Gordon Son M S W 24 NC
Lydia Gordon Dau F S W 21 NC
Letitia Gordon Dau F S W 19 NC

She later lived with her son, N. W. Gordon where she is found on the 1900 and the 1910 Census.

Martha married John Gordon 1 on 16 Dec 1853 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. John was born on 12 Jan 1818. He died on 23 Aug 1862. He was buried in Bethel United Methodist Church Cemetery.

1060. James H. Pegram 1 (Baker , John , George , Daniel , Daniel , George ) was born 2, 3, 4 on 23 Nov 1826 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. He died on 19 Nov 1905 in Winston Salem, Forsyth Co., North Carolina.

Another source gives James' name as James E. rather than James H. and also places him as a son of Jacob instead of Baker. However, since Jacob had a daughter born only a few months before James, we will assume that Baker is the father of James.

In 1870 there is a Rhoda Gurley, age 86 living in the home. Relationship, if any, is not known.

The 1900 census shows that the couple have been married for 30 years and have had no children. His occupation on the 1900 Census is given as grocery salesman.

The 1900 Census gives his month of birth as December.

James married (1) Julia Ann Shaw daughter of John Shaw and Jane on 6 Apr 1852 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. Julia was born 1, 2, 3 about 1835 in North Carolina. She died in 1880.

She died between the birth of Flora in 1868 and 1870 when James married Abigail.

The 1913 City Directory for Winson Salem shows:

The 1880 Census shows an Orville W., age 4 mo. and a Walter E. age 6, Pegram living with John Fletcher's family and identified as grandsons. We have not determined who the parent of these boys may be.

John married Nancy Ellis Jones daughter of Caleb Callus Jones and Delaney Medaris. Nancy was born 1, 2, 3 on 12 Dec 1823 in Stokes Co., North Carolina. She died 4 on 4 Feb 1898 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.

The death certificate of Mary E. Lasley shows her father to be Josephus Lashley. However, it seems most of the family still uses Lasley as proper spelling.

The family is found on the 1860 Census of Rockingham Co., North Carolina and shows the following:

Lasley, Joseph A. 31 m Farmer $1500 $1800 b. NC

His widow, Eliza Pegram Lasley, settled in Rockingham County, NC and reared her children to maturity. She gave land for the Mt.

Her tombstone in the cemetary is unique in that all the names of her 9 children are listed on the back of the stone.
