I believe they came from New Brunswick, Canada, since a notice of Susan's death appeared in a newspaper there. I am guessing that Elisha was the brother of my Great-Great-Grandfather Solomon Mann PEARSON, since Elisha was the witness on Solomon's marriage in 1853 in New Brunswick to Eliza PARKIN. Also, Solomon and Elisha were both tanners and curriers. Does anyone know more about Elisha and Susan? Other PEARSONs in the White City Cemetery are Josephine F., Samuel A., Emma Mae, Warren P., and Arthur R., but I don't know if they are related to Elisha and Susan. ---------------------------------------------- BURRES...THOMPSON Carla Burres (ckburres@mcmsys.com) 29 December 2001 I am interested in finding copies of the Wilsey Warbler published around 1925 in Wilsey, Morris County.

Who were these relatives that they came to meet? This was a very important trip as they left their son, William Henry WOLF to help out. He stayed for a while then went back to Burnett County, Texas. I figured that the relatives could have come from one of several counties surrounding Antelope, I hope somebody knows which family they came to visit.
