Notes
a. Note:   Silas H., 22, S, B/L: Fauq, Farmer, P: John C. & Sarah E. Pearson, m 10/17/1872 to Amanda B. Flynn, 21, S, B/L: Fauq, P: John & Sarah Flynn, m by John L. Carroll. (Vol 7, pg 113) I live in Fauquier County, Virginia not far from Marshall, VA. We rent a small 3 acre property known locally as the "Moreland Store". We live in a small white house that was built in the 1950's, but on the corner of our property are two very old structures. One of them is a small portion of a home that is still standing, and just a few feet away there is a two-story storage shed. The house is actually all that remains of a log cabin that was built in the early 1800's, but a wood frame house was built around it in 1855. The 1855 house was much larger, and the front section fell down in the 1940's, so that all that remains is the portion built around the log cabin. The storage shed also dates from around 1855. I have found a wealth of old bottles and odds and ends that date from the early 1900's in and around the old house. Interestingly enough, I found that the occupants of the house had actually used the interior wall spaces to dump their trash, and near the fireplace and by the window there are holes in the walls for that purpose. Inside we found plates, cups, tin cans, razor blades, clothing, chicken bones, silver ware, etc. But the most intriguing thing we found was a letter addressed to "Silas H. Pearson, Marshall, VA". Inside the envelope was an advertisement for a political gathering that was to take place in Marshall in June, 1908. Likely considered to be "junk mail," Silas stuffed it into the wall with the rest of the trash. In the same area as the letter we found some sticks that had been whittled, and I can almost picture him sitting by the window, reading his mail and whittling. I believe that this is the very same Silas H. Pearson who married Amanda Flynn. Silas was living here with his first cousin, Mollie E. (Pearson) Lee. Her husband, John H. Lee, passed away in 1901. The 1910 census lists them living together (but mistakenly identifies them as brother and sister). Glen A. Swain
