Elizabeth (Grayson) Pearson

It appears that Elizabeth must have died no later than 1868 because Winlock married Lucretia Sims in that year and Lucretia is the one who filed for his CSA petition as his widow.

In 1850 Elizabeth is with Winlock Christopher Pearson. In 1860, she is not. Did she pass away between 1850-1860?

Per handwritten notes from Ada McLain, great-granddaughter of Elizabeth Grayson, she confirmed the maiden name of Grayson and said that the Graysons had such red hair that "if you cut a strand you'd expect it to bleed". Ada's notes were passed on to her niece Roz Morgan who passed them on to her daughter Debbie Gambrell. The red hair came down to Ada's generation with her and her sisters having beautiful auburn hair.

Ada also said that Elizabeth's daughter Annie was Choctaw. As a child, Roz Morgan met her great-grandmother Annie and recalled that she was "Indian", but the Choctaw has been validated by the Dawes application of Annie's half-brother who listed their father (they had different mothers) as Choctaw. The Grayson line is Cherokee.

Elizabeth's granddaughter Emily Elizabeth Pearson married Hillard McLain who had Creek ancestry that is well-documented.
