Synopsis

This is the 4th book in a 6-book series that develops a hypothesis regarding the expansion of the P-R-S family over a period of 3,000 years. We are now into the historical period where individuals and their actions are well documented. At this point, I am following the branch of the P-R-S family that most likely are my recent ancestors. They led a very interesting lives starting with George Pearis and his wife Sarah arriving in Pennsylvania and settling in Winchester, Virginia with a daughter and three sons (George Jr., Richard and Robert). They became involved with trading with the Cherokee in the western Carolinas and Tennessee and crossed paths with a number of historically significant people including George Washington and Lord Fairfax. This book includes the French and Indian War and the run up to the War of Independence. The three brothers from Ireland, ended up in the western Carolinas with Richard (present day Greenville, SC) and Robert (Charleston, SC) supporting the British and George Jr. (old Tryon County, NC) and his sons (who were born near Winchester and moved into eastern Tennessee) firmly supporting the cause of independence. In books 5 and 6, the focus will be on descendent of Richard in western North Carolina until 1950.
