John PEARSON

- 1650

• Birth	Ullock, Dean Parish, Cumberland Co., ENGLAND   [1]
  Note	The lineage begins to come forth from the mist of time with an intelligent farmer, John Pearson of Ullock, parish of Dean who by 1641 was a church warden and overseer of St. Oswald's. This old gentleman made his will in January 1649, requesting that his body be buried in the church yard of Dean Parish. Evidently he had paid for the education of a grandson, Christopher Pearson,who was to pay 20 shillings to the parish schools for his part in the estate that he was to receive. He was also to inherit his grandfather's 'husbandry gear'. John Pearson was dead in 1650 when his will was executed, with its numerous and careful bequests.There is a likelihood that John Pearson was one of the children of Jane Pearson, Widow, who died in Dean Parish in 1580, asking that Thomas Pearson shall have the occupation of my farm hold with all my goods moveable and that he brought up the said children honestly with meals and cloth until they come to perfect years of age and that he make my son 'John Pearson' aforesaid tenant of said farmhold by the license of the Lord or his Office.' Her other children were Thomas and Elizabeth. This John could have been a brother to Christopher Pearson, weaver of Ullock, who died in 1613. In his will the latter made bequests to his brother, Thomas and John Pearson. He left also 40 shillings 'upon the repairing of Deane Church and Deane Schoolhouse'.
