ABEL PEARSON



   Abel Pearson applied for revolutionary pension while living in White County,

Tenn. He was born May 2, 1764 in Carroll Tract, Pa., and had moved before the

War to the Tennessee Country, then North Carolina. He entered the army under

Col. John Sevier and Maj. Jesse Walton and was in the battle of Boyd's Creek. He

enlisted again under Capt. Jacob Brown and' served in the battle of King's

Mountain. He enlisted again under Capt. Luke Boyer. He states that his father's

family Bible was then in the possession of a daughter who lived in Bledsoe

County, Tenn. Thomas Gist testifies that he served at the same time and was

under Capt. George Doherty.



   Note: The printed pension list of White County says that Abel Pearson served

in Virginia troops but this is an error. He had a son, Abel Pearson, who was

born in North Carolina, now Tennessee, in 1787, and died in Hamilton County,

Tenn., in 1856.
