Nathan Petus is found on the 1850 Census of Stewart Co., Tennessee but the name is mis-spelled as Pegan.

77.  Sally Gates (Agnes Pegram-3, Daniel-2, Daniel-1) was born in 1824 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.  We are not certain at this time if Sally is the daughter of Agnes as found on the 1850 Census of Guilford Co., North Carolina but we find no other female who would appear to match Sally on the 1850 Census.

88.  Cynthia Pegram (John-3, George-2, Daniel-1) 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.

Aaron Shearin was born 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.

Our sources for the West Virginia branch of this family have been Nancy Burton, a descendant  of Martin J. Pegram and James Pegram, a descendant of George Nash Pegram.  We are so happy to have the input from these cousins who are making a great contribution to our knowledge of the descendants of George Pegram and his wife, Wilicia Harrison. James has also provided us with his "Notes from Williamsburg" which corrects previous errors.  We do not doubt that the few remaining gaps in our WV line will soon be complete.

Our most recent note  from Nancy Burton, included included the following gem taken from "History of Fayette Co., West Virginia" :

"The Pegrams came to the Loop from Guilford County, NC, near Greensboro.  The parents were George and Willia (Harrison) Pegram. George is said to have raised fine horses for racing while living in Carolina, and the son, Martin, drove four-horse teams transporting merchandise from Virginia to North Carolina.  Other sons and daughters of George and Willia Pegram, some if not all of whom came to Fayette County, were Calvin, Pinckney, Albert, Parthena, Henry, Thomas, and Elizabeth.  The parents also came here, but what date is not known. George died in 1870 and was buried on the hill near the forks of Mossy where the son Calvin lived.

Calvin and John H. Pegram appear in the Fayette County census records of 1850 and 1860 respectively.  In 1850 Calvin Pegram, then a young man of twenty-one, was enumerated at the Mann Keeton home (the old William Blake place) in present Mount Hope.  A few years later, he married Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel and Isabel Bragg, and lived on Pack's Branch, where he purchased seventy-five acres in 1854 from William Humphrey.  His homestead was located in the first hollow below Pack's Rock and the Indian mounds, then known as Hinckley Branch.  The new Packs Branch Road at this time was divided into two precincts, the lower of which was called Calvin Pegram's precinct in 1855, and a George Pegram was assigned to the upper precinct in the same year. Calvin sold his place on Hinckley Branch to Mark McCoy and bought a tract of 108 acres on the head of Mossy Creek at Haystack Mountain (the later Peter Mahoney place).  This he soon disposed of also in 1868 in favor of site farther down Mossy Creek, near the mouth of Toney Fork.  There he built his last log house near and back of the present Dothan Post Office.  The family of Calvin and Elizabeth Pegram consisted of Phillip, James C. and others.

John H Pegram and wife Elizabeth in 1860, lived on Mossy Creek between the cabins of James C. O'Neal, also from NC, (at the Mahoney site) and Harris Bragg.  In 1860 & again in 1861 he was assigned to the uppper precinct of the Mossy Creek Road.  Pinckney Pegram married Eliza, widow of George Hughart and daughter of Daniel Bragg.  They lived on the Mossy Creek Road.  Parthena married a Hodge and lived on Pack's Branch.  Children of Calvin and Elizabeth Pegram, who became permanent residents of the county , were Philip and James C."

We hope to get a copy of the picture of the log cabin mentioned  above and will post it as soon as it is available.

George Pegram and Wilicia (Willie) Harrison were married on 1 Sep 1827 in Guilford Co., North Carolina.  Wilicia (Willie) Harrison (daughter of Henry Harrison and Nancy) was born about 1811.  She died in 1892 in Mason Co., West Virginia.  Wilcia was the daughter of Henry Harrison as evidenced by the following:  24 Oct 1835 - John Potter, Joseph King & wife, Lucey King, Alfred D. Lowe, Jesse Hobbs (by his agent Lewis Hobbs), John Harrison (by his agent Nathan King), George Pegram, Tabitha Harrison and Polly Harrison - heirs of Henry Harrison, decd. to Nancy Harrison, widow of said Henry Harrison, decd... quitclaim to all property said Henry Harrison, decd. bequeathed by his last will and testament to his said wife, Nancy Harrison..(Guilford Co., North Carolina DB23:179)

Wilcia is shown as age 68 on 1880 C. of West Virginia where she is found living with her son Pinkney.  George Pegram and Wilicia (Willie) Harrison had the following children:
