Edward Pearson’s birth name is not apparent. No records prior to his Mother’s marriage to John Ralph Holliday are found. Therefore I coded him with his Mother’s surname. He would have been about 3 ½ years old when Martha W Pearson was married. At some time, Edward’s name became Holliday. The middle initial of T may be from an earlier time but does not make an appearance before Holliday was used. He is noted as Edward Holliday in the 1860 census.
