page 277 ... The Thomas Pescund was probably Pescud-13. I'm thinking that maybe there's a generation missing or merged at one point.
update: nope. Already covered this. From Thomas Manson: "Some of the Buford records state that Thomas Manson married Mary Pegram, daughter of Edward, who was 18 years older than Ann. Thomas Manson's will, carefully examined by the compiler,[3] definitely proves that he married Ann, and not her sister Mary." ([3] leads to a link of "credits" for the Pegram Family Album)
A "Thomas Mansen" is said to be husband of Edward's daughter Mary (by Mary S. Baker), born 1744. A brother of this John?

Manson-85 and Manson-18 appear to represent the same person because: These duplicates should be merged. I've found nothing to dissuade me that the profiles are for the same person. Thanks!
There is an argument that Martha Pegram Lewis is the wife of John and the mother of Jane and Peter, but she would have had to have been married at age 11 / 12 if reported birth date in Bristol parish, York, Virginia, British America correct.
