Research Notes

• This profile was started with an unsourced family tree, which is a bad practice and unnecessary in this case since there are many valid sources available. More should be added and the biography fleshed out. I'm starting the process and hopefully others will finish it. G. Pinson (Pinson-796) 2/10/24.
• Spouses name, Nancy Hutson, based on son Elijah Pinson's 1921 Alabama Death Certificate which listed his mother as Nancy Hutson.
