  Annie,
  Here is Jesse Pearson's children: John Pearson, Rachel Pearson, Mary Ann Pearson married James P. Appleby, Susannah Pearson, and Jacob H. Pearson.This is from a deed transfer from the Pearsons above to Jacob Pearson. dated 3/18/1848 in
 Orangeburg County, SC.
  I have not been able to find any Williamsons that knew of being related to the Pearsons and can't find any Pearsons.
  I believe jesse Pearson is the son of John Pearson, said to be the first white child born in Richland County. In Orangeburg records John Pearson and Mary Raiford were married in orangeburg County in 1742. right after that Jesse Pearson was
 born. John and Mary Pearson moved to Fairfield County, SC. There is a Pearson Cemetery at lake Monticello on Hwy. #215. A church has taken the cemetery over. Near there is an old plantation home believed to be Phillip Pearson's Plantation.
 Phillip was John Pearson's son. Phillip is buried in the cemetery.
  I would like to make this connection. John Pearson's father, John, was on a ship kidnapped by pirates off the coast of New Orleans. They were coming to America. John escaped over the side and swam ashore only to be cauught by the Spainards and
 imprisoned, each day they told him how they were going to kill him. He escaped again and made his way to Charleston, SC, living among the Indians on the way.
  John
