    Ah..the lure of family history!!! I am not supposed to be here now,but I am. I'm sending a link to a newspaper interview that Jere Pearsall gave in 1915.He states that Beisher Whiting was father's brother-in-law.Abisher Whiting was listed in the census as living next door??I'm taking a giant step and presuming that Ruth Pearsall,married to Abisher Whiting was W.C.'s sister. As for Jeremiah's son being named Colwell,Jeremiah was featured in another article on his 86th birthday(1928).Port Byron Globe I believe,and listed all his children,grandchildren,etc. My stepdad knew all of these people,so it's not debateable with him. In your list you sent,Jeremiah#2 and Mary Loretta Moody are my stepdad's parents.They had three children,Howard,Esther,and Edwin(stepdad).Edwin is the only one left now,he's 87. Somewhere I ran across the name EDTL ??? I have a note from Mary Loretta's papers, stating they visited them in Tacoma Washington.Darned if I can find the reference now!!! I'm off again....

    Jere Pearsall

    [They spelled the name Jere รพ and pronounced it "Jerry."]
    Per Jere Pearsall, Port Byron, Ill., March 17, 1915
    Our folks came down from Canada and after a time moved to a place near Chicago.
    "I was born near Chicago and we moved to Rock Island County when I was between six and eight years old. When we moved out on the place in Coe Town we were two miles from any neighbor, where we put up the first shanty. When we first came we lived on Beisher Whiting's place above Cordova, - this was the year 1848 or '49. Whiting was a brother-in-law of father's, and we lived there from the fall until the first of July the following year. We worked up at his place and my oldest brother was drowned in the Mississippi while we lived there. He was bathing with some boys. We brought grappling hooks, etc. at once but couldn't find the body. We found him a few days after between Port Byron and LeClaire. Mrs. Belch- er and some others, I can't remember who, found his body floating down the river. They were young folks then, and shw was a Miss Holmes. Father had advertised all along down the river, but Miss Holmes and her companions didn't know of the drowning until they saw the body. I think that's about as old a sketch as you'll get around here. That was in '48 or '49.

    Abisha married Pearsall, Ruth about 1844 in New York, United States. Ruth was born in 1807 in New York, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Pearsall, Ruth was born in 1807 in New York, United States.
