My elusive James Pearson came to the USA from Scotland in the early 1800's. DNA has proven that his family originally came from St Bartholmew in Wilmslow as he is a close match of a Pearson of Styal who came to the USA in the late 1600's. Others that match lived in Mere and Totton (1733) and Marple 1805). All are in St Bartholmew church records. At this time there were Pearsins in Pownell Fee and Dean Row to name a few. It is my belief and I may be wrong that probably a couple of Pearson brothers came to that area probably in the 1500's and spread out over the area. That is why I would like to find a Pearson from there. Millie
