Contributor's Note:  A.J. Pearson married in Sumner County, TN.  He and 
his wife lived there after they were married and finally moved to Simpson 
County, KY as he deserted from the Army.
Information found in the Bible of Andrew Jackson Pearson, the first 
husband of Caroline "Carrie" Hollis.  They were living in Simpson County, 
KY in 1870 and were living there at the death of Andrew Jackson Pearson. 
He died of cholera in 1872 and is buried in an unmarked grave there.

On the fly leaf of the Bible is entered at the top right corner:
A. J. Pearson
bought August 15, 1860
price $3.00

The Bible is large and about 9 by 12 inches. The cover was brown and has 
been restored recently. Some of the books of the Bible are missing and it 
is only about three inches thick. The Record Page is in the middle of the 
Bible and some entries are illegible. The page was laminated when the 
Bible was rebound and extra pages were put in. The Record Page has entries 
on both sides of the page.

Some entries were made after the death of A. J. Pearson, probably by his 
second wife, Carrie Hollis Pearson. The Bible was handed down to the 
youngest son, William Nesbit Pearson, and after the death of William and 
his wife, Fannie, it was given to a grandson of the oldest son of Will and 
Fannie Pearson.
