Among the passengers on the "Endeavour," of London,George Thorp, master,which arrived here the 29th of 7 mo.,1683,beside the Howells and Taylors above mentioned,were Thomas Pearson and Margery his wife,the grandparents of Benjamin West,who came from Pownall,in Cheshire;also John Pearson,his brother,and Mary Smith,his wife's sister.These two doubtless came as servants in order to get their 50 acres each,and a warrant for that amount was granted Oct.6,1683.The land was located in Marple.

Do we know any more about Thomas Pearson and Margery his wife, i.e. their offspring, or about John Pearson? My ancestor is Elizabeth Pearson b. 1726 who married John Townsend Oct. 3 1749 at the Buckingham Monthly Meeting, I believe in Bucks Co., Pa. Wondering who her parents etc were.

I find another Thomas Pierson....this gent married Rachel Sharpley, probably a daughter of Adam and Mary Sharpley....the marriage took place 8 mo 1688, under the auspices of Newark MM...Thomas was Deputy Surveyor of New Castle Co, and died 7 mo 2 1687....(I see Rachel called Rose, in another resource.) There is an account of this Thomas Pierson in Penna, Mag., XXI, 506-7. I'd think, however, that there would be at least one other generation between this one, and someone born in 1726. S.
