I recently spoke with my 88 year old Grandmother Susie Pearl, who is widowed to James Russell Pearce. Her maiden name is Swords. My grandpa passed in about 1959 in Fulton County Ga. where he was born around 1915. His father was named James Byron Pearce and had died before 1940 of a stroke like condition. I am told that James Byron Pearce had two sons and two daughters. The sons were James Russell Pearce (my grandpa) and Wesley Pearce, one daughter was Roberta Pearce and another died very young her name is unknown to me at this time. It is also said that James Byron Pearce had a brother Charlie Pearce who was a forman or manager perhaps at a Cotton Mill in Florida maybe Pensecola. He and his family resided there after moving from Ga. it is presumed.
James Russell Pearce, my grandfather had two sons and a daughter. James Russell Pearce, Jr.,my father,(recently deceased) John Byron Pearce, (deceased) and Joann Pearce (Staton). The Pearce family name is carried on through two sons Jimmy Derek Pearce (myself) son of James Russell and Byron Pearce, son of John Byron. (I am also trying to locate Byron Pearce who currently lives in the Atlanta area but has changed his phone no. and no one in the family can find him!) I am carried on by my son Jason Derek Pearce (13) and I am told Byron may have a son but again I have not been able to locate him.
PS ~ I had a talk with my other Grandmother just this weekend and she told me that my Grandpa "James Russell Pearce" lived with a family called "Low or Lowes" in thier teenage years in Fulton County specifically "Cabbagetown". In fact that's where I was raised until about 7 years of age. My wife and I were in Georgia this weekend and we drove down to Cabbagetown and looked around. WOW! How perspective change when your older!
Thanks and please email me if you have any inf. on this clan of Pearce's!
