It seems all descendants are at a brick wall at JOHN PEARSON b abt 1784 d bet 1850-1860 m JANE JONES b 1780 d abt 1871 but some researchers have the parents wrong..some have Joseph for father and some have Sarah (T.H.)as the mother, all death certificates say JOHN PEARSON and JANE JONES and some have not listed GEORGE as a older brother...I thought posting this, may bring us cousins together and compare notes.

This has been a journey of love and pride to pass onto the next generations. I have made many errors through my almost 30 years of research and sometimes I find one of my old bloopers and scratch my head on how I did it. I have connected with many awesome cousins from different lines of my tree and I have no regrets. If this is your family also, please feel free to use my sources to continue your tree. It's awesome connecting with distant cousins and re-connecting with closer cousins. You can also contact me at
willmot51@yahoo.com or go to my profile page as I have my link to FB and send me a request.
I have one question...I know my HOOPES were Quakers were any of your families also Quakers?
Continued success in your research and hopefully break the PEARSON/JONES brick wall
