FYI—My interest is in finding the relationships, not in causing problems for other researchers who may be upset by possible revelations. "Spoiler alert" — possible out-of-wedlock child ahead.
I just made a Green/Pilgreen connection between Shelby County, AL, folks in the mid-1800's.
Clarissa Avery married Jonathon Pearson in 1848, Bibb County, AL. She was 25; he was 49. She had a son Levi from a previous relationship. Apparently he was born out of wedlock because her parents were Jessi Thomas Avery and Miriam Crumpton, daughter of Luke Crumpton. Natural children took the name of their mothers.
Levi married Frances B. Pilgreen in 1866 in Shelby County. Frances was the daughter of Elias Pilgreen, son of Book Pilgreen. She's a Green/Pilgreen.
Clarissa and Jonathon's son Shadrick Pearson married Nancy Jane McKinney, daughter of Mary Ann Green and John P. McKinney on 14 November 1872 in Bibb County.
Through DNA I can prove that Mary Ann Green McKinney was somehow related to Book Pilgreen—probably through Jeremiah Pilgreen of Shelby County in the 1830S and 40s. Thus, Nancy Jane McKinney Pearson and Frances Pilgreen Avery are related. Probably cousins.
Why is this important? I dunno yet. Stay tuned.
