- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. According to LDS archival family group sheet as part of FHL film 2056025 pt. 5, Daniel Addison Mangum collection, Moses and Eliza Jane Adair may have had one daughter, Margaret Jane Pearson, b. 1839 in AL, m. David Lewis. She is supposedly age 11 in 1850 census (probably the Margaret Price, age 11, shown with John and Eliza Price in Pottawattamie Co., Iowa - see Eliza's notes).
2. Excerpt of letter copy received from Email from Rowland Hinton [hinton12@isp.com] 1 Jan 2006:
"30 Jan 1972, Dear Mr. Price...
"...For years now I have puzzled at where grandmother, Rebecca Ann Price Chidester was born. Her index card in the archives says Pickens Co., Miss. There is no Pickens Co., Miss. There is in Alabama but the census said she was born in Miss. Mother told me once that she said she was born on "Uncle Billie Mathesons's place". She didn't have an Uncle Billie Matheson. I think mother must have heard wrong or remembered wrong. Grandmother had two Uncle Billie's - Uncle Billie Richey and Uncle William Mangum. I think she was born at Uncle Billie Mangums. I think the Prices were fairly close to the William Mangum family as the 1850 census find them #1165 & #1166 with John Mangum #1190 at Pottawatamie Co., Iowa and the rest of these I could find in Iowa numbered in the 200s and others of them in Utah already. After arriving in Utah, they continued together in their move to Washington, Washington, Utah in 1857. In 1845 when Rebecca Ann Price was born, William Mangum was at Itawamba, Miss. And that is where I believe she was born. I don't know if she met John Price (Eliza Jane Adair, that is) after she went to Miss. or before she left Ala. Margaret Jane Pearson was born about the time they left Alabama. Some censuses say she was born in Alabama and some in Mississippi. The 1870 and 1880 census says Mississippi. I have Margaret Jane Pearson's death certificate. It was reported by her daughter & only surviving member of her family, Eliza Ann Meeks. She stated her mother was born in Tennessee??? I also have the death certificate for Eliza Ann Meeks & for her brother George. George Chidester committed suicide in California in 1932 with a bullet to the brain with a 38-caliber pistol & is buried in a county burial ground at Sacramento. Thomas Moses (oldest son of Margaret Jane Pearson) married a Mazell Jenson & he died on the 3 Oct 1910 at Stockton, Calif. They had a daughter who died young. Incidently, as near as I can find out, Margaret Jane Pearson was married three times. She was sealed to David Lewis on 18 Jan 1855. This man had three wives previously to this marriage, one being Elizabeth Carson whom he was sealed to on 4 Aug 1852. He died later in 1855 & as far as I know she did not have his children. At least none survived to show up in a census. She married her second husband, again with her half sister only at a later date, about 1860 she married Tarlton Lewis, brother to David. Both sisters later divorced him, but Margaret Jane Pearson had two sons by him which show up in the 1870 & 1880 census lumped under Chidester names. She of course married third as a second wife to my grandfather David Chidester who was the husband of another half sister Rebecca Ann Price."
3. Censuses: I can not find any census with our Moses Pearson in it. By 1850, Eliza, Moses' wife, was married to John Price, who we can find in the 1850 census in Iowa. What happened to Moses is unknown. There was a report that he was living in 1850 possibly with his mother in Pottawattamie Co., IA; however, I find no US or Iowa state census showing him whatsoever.
