Mary Louise Pearre Hamilton (1838-1913), daughter of Joshua W. Pearre and his wife Elizabeth Hulme, granddaughter of Joshua Pearre and his wife Margaret Woodward, was a young woman living with her sister and brother-in-law in Williamson County, TN, during the Civil War.She kept a diary during a portion of that period, describing the deprivations caused by the war.
There will be a tv special on A&E on December 17, 2003 that features Mary Louise Pearre and her diary.It is called "In the Shadow of Cold Mountain", and is timed to be in conjunction with the release of the movie "Cold Mountain" (the heroine of which was a young woman living alone during the Civil War).
Mary Louise "Mollie" Pearre Hamilton was my great-grandmother.My line is through her son, Joshua Pearre Hamilton, my grandfather.
