Thank you Petra for allowing us all to enjoy the most interesting diary. We have thought for some time that Rev. Joseph Pearson was the brother of Mary (Pearson) Adamthwaite.(b.1750) Her sons seem to have become Anglican Ministers in (a) East Stockwith and (b) Bowes because of the influence of their "uncle". We cannot,however, find a Pearson father who had both a Mary and a Joseph around the 1750's. Now we are wondering whether they really were siblings.Does anyone know details of this Pearson family? Mary married Thomas Adamthwaite in 1774 at Kirkby Stephen.
