Hello Jeanette. Thank you for your response to my query. I have that information that you supplied (received from another gengroup). Yes, that is the same man. Mary was a grand daughter of our ancestor Warren Truss. Mary married Andrew Moorman Dumas jr when Charlie was 3 years old in 1869. I don't know when Charlie changed his name to Dumas but he did and passed that name on to my maternal grandmother.The Pearsons listed in the census also owned a Hotel in Springville,Al. Mary,Charlie and later my grandmother (as a teenager) worked there. Charlie/Charley lived near my mother until his death in 1940. Andrew M. Dumas jr was a descendant of Jeremy/Jeremiah Dumas,a French Huegonaut(sp) who arrived in America in 1700. Charlie is my only link to French ancestory. Thanks and nice to meet you. Best regards,Jimmy
