In regards to the June 28, 1951 Winn Parish Enterprise article
pertaining to
the Lyon-Pearre Cemetery, I offer this additional information:

A.W. Pearre was not the slave of Major Lyon.  He was one of the original
white Pearres to have settled in Winn Parish.  A.W. Pearre last shows up
in
the 1900 Federal Census with the following information:

House #..............................41
Family #.............................42
Name:................................Perry,  Alexander W.
Head of House
Race:................................ White
Sex:................................... M
Date of Birth:.....................October 1835
Age at last birthday:........ 64
Marital Status:................. Single
Place of Birth:................. MS

Can read, write and speak English.

Although Major Lyon and A.W. Pearre were not blood relatives, Major was
the
great-grandfather of A.W. Pearre's offspring.

I am the 2G Grandson of A.W. Pearre and the 4G Grandson of Major Lyon.
