William Head Pearson and Mary White Pearson

This post should be read along with George's post More on the White Family.

Previously, George gave us this image of Mary White Pearson (1780 - 1882). She married William Head Pearson (1780 - 1841) in 1807. William was born in Laurens county, South Carolina and died in Jasper County, Georgia.

They had their first child, William Washington Pearson in 1809 and went on to a total of 15 children. James Madison Pearson was born on October 17, 1817. George in his post mentions just three boys, so this needs to be cleared up.

Here is the information on them from the O'Farrell Family Tree.
