Person:Pearl Nightser (1)

In this 1880 record Rebecca (Pearl's grandmother) is living next household to Harriet Nightser Jackson, Rebecca's sister-in-law. Rebecca is also in the business of weaving carpet as is Harriet's husband, Nathaniel Jackson. Note that in the 1850 census, Rebecca's husband was a shoemaker and apparently his son had some connection with that occupation also.
