Source: Ancestry.com - Member: vagreen9: "Littleberry Pearson was born in 1768, the second son of John Pearson. There is no known relationship with another member of the family with the name Littleberry, but it was significant enough that it was passed down to the oldest son and again in the following generation. The name may have come from his wife's family: he married Mary "Nanny" Thomas, probable daughter of Peter Thomas, in Mecklenburg County in 1786. They were the parents of ten children: Littleberry, Drury, Mary, Sarah, Peter, Nancy, Anna, Pascal, Rebecca, and Gray. According to the 1807 tax list, Littleberry owned 320 acres of land on Rattlesnake Creek in Brunswick County. He had bought this property from his father John Pearson (and his second wife Patty) in 1788. He died in 1808."
