Bio
I am the (paternal) great (x3) grandson of John Pearson (1777-1857) from Pennsylvania, who settled in Georgia in 1801, establishing the Pearson family in Tattnall County, Georgia, c. 1803. We are direct descendants of Thomas Pearson of Marple, son of Lawrence Pearson and Elizabeth Janney of Chester, Cheshire, England, who came to America with Wm Penn in 1683 where they settled in Chester, Pa., so named for their former home in England.
My maternal grandmother's name was Madeleine Millet (pronounced Mee•LAY), and she came to America from France in 1925. Her sister Louise also came to America, but at a different time I believe. Madeleine's husband, my maternal grandfather was Nicholas Monedas (mo•NEE•das) who came to America from Mytilene, Greece the same year. They were married in New York that year, and raised a family of three girls - one who died as a child. Nick Monedas was the last male of his line in America, his wife and all three daughters have passed.
My goal has been simply to find and add missing family members. I've done pretty well with the Pearsons, but the Monedas research has been largely unfruitful .
The Pearsons are also connected to the families Phillips, Shuman, Thomas, Rogers, Stanley, Tod, DeLoach, etc. I hope what I've found and posted will be of interest to others. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of help.
