THE PEARSON (2) LINE
PEARSON LINE - FIRST GENERATION
EDWARD PEERSONNE
Born: abt 1580's, in Cheshire, Eng
Died: 1648
Unknown who he wed. It is believed he was a thatcher. The following children were listed christened by father "Edward Peeresonne." Children listed are not necessarily of the same father; it was possible there were two Edwards, and without a wife's name, we can't tell. It is known that Lawrence Peirson (2nd generation) had a brother, Robert, which is not shown in the list below.

Died: bur. 24 Feb 1673/4 at Moberly Quaker Burying Ground, 2 miles from Pownall Hall.
Parents: Edward Peeresonne
Married 1 Anne Worth, at Prestbury
Married 2 Elizabeth Janney
He seems to have lived at Styall, Pownall Fee Twp., Wilmslow. From the Prestbury Parish register: 1643, Apr 02, Lawrence Pierson of Mobberly, marred to Anne Worth, at Prestbury. No further record of Anne was found. Apparently she died, and Lawrence was married in the Quaker meeting to Elizabeth Janney, of a very active Quaker family. Elizabeth, wife of Lawrence, was buried 13 Aug 1662 at Mobberly. She was dau of Randle Janney and Ellen Allred. In 1657, Lawrence Pearson of Wilmslow Parish refused to pay a tithe, and had a horse worth three pounds confiscated to pay an eight shilling tithe. In 1665 Lawrence Pearson of Pownall Fee was arrested at a Quaker meeting and jailed for two months. In 1650, Lawrence Pearson was imprisoned for testifying in the streets at Highfield, County Derby. In 1660, Robert Pearson, his brother, was put in jail for refusing to take an oath.
