Ransom Pendergrass Where did Ransom die and where was he buried?

• He was born and married for the first time in Wake County, NC - could he be buried with family there?
• He moved to Virginia with first wife, Milly Perry, and her children stayed in Virginia when Ransom left - could he be buried with family there?
• He moved to Greene County, Alabama and married for the second time to Elizabeth Ridgeway and appeared there in the US Census until 1880. Could he be buried in Greene County, Alabama?
• His youngest son, Stephen Sanders Pendergrass moved to Coffeeville, Mississippi around 1880 - could Ransom have moved with Stephen and be buried with Stephen's family in Coffeeville, Mississippi?

Elizabeth Jane (Arrington) Adams (1856-1944) Why did Eliza Jane’s family move from Halifax/Warren County, NC to Coffeeville, MS around the time of the Civil War? It was late in the trend of moving to Mississippi for better farmland, especially when the family owned land in NC and still had family there.

Caroline E (Powell) Arrington (1820-1900) Why did Caroline and her husband, James Arrington, leave the farm in NC and move to a farm in Coffeeville, MS sometime between 1859 and 1866?
