I found a bit of information from Holland on the Pierre Creson family (baptisms/deaths) on a site called "Digital Staboom". Seems they must have lived in Holland for a few years, after leaving France and before coming to NC.My ancestor, Abraham Creson, moved to the Yadkin River Valley in North Carolina in 1748.Not entirely sure of his parentage or wife, but think he does go back to Pierre Cresson, the French Huguenot of New York.Abraham's son was named "Joshua," a common family name. Would love to know more about the early family history in France.
