BENJAMIN PEARSALL. According to Clarence Pearsall's "History and Genealogy of the Pearsall Family in England and America Vol. Ill," page 1443 and 1444, Benjamin was the son of Job Pearsall. Probably born in 1730s. Died c. 1774 in Indian raid during Lord Dunmore's War. Children were John, Sampson, Benjamin and Samuel. My second-most-wanted Pearsall would be the same as Sue Bowman's (Ruth Peirsol, who married Tobias Stilley in the late 1700s).

My grandfather, Robert James Pearsall. Died in 1948 at Aberdeen, Washington. Long-time resident of Tacoma, Washington, and previously of Berkeley and San Francisco, California. Served in the U.S. Marine Corps in China, circa 1910. Stated on his marriage certificate (California, 1918), that he was the son of O.A. Pearsall and Margaret Ramsey, natives of Michigan. Believed by his family to have been born in Michigan in 1885, possibly in or near town of Port Huron, but no birth certificate for him has been located in Michigan state records between 1884-86. Any information on his birth, family, or the identity of "O.A. Pearsall" would be appreciated. (He is not the same as another Robert James Pearsall who is found in v.3 of "cousin Clarence's" book.)

FLOYD UGENE PEARSLL
I am Danielle Jeane Johnson, third daughter of Nancy Sharon Pearsall-Johnson, who is the sixth child of Harold Pearsall, son of Floyd Ugene Pearsall. I am unsure if Floyd was one of Thomas Henry and Catherine Coniver Pearsall's children or grand children, for I do not know Floyd's father's name. I have an accounting of the family line from a Florence Pearsall Bryant, as told to Morris W. Pearsall shortly before her death in 1956. The last page is missing, and it has my great grandfather's connection to all of this. Please help connect me and my family to our ancestors.

I am going to a Baldwin High School reunion in September. Since I moved from Baldwin in 1957 I've had a pretty hard time finding my relatives. According to an application for Social Security that my grandfather filed, he was the son of Stephen William Morse and Hannah Jane Pearsall. I will be on Long Island in a few weeks and I'd love to know more about Hannah Jane Pearsall. Does anyone have any information about Hannah and Mr. Morse?

My Grandfather Edward Pershall (Purcell) b.1854 may be in TN. 1900 Census. in St. Louis, Mo. until 1906 was last report I could find of him. Had a daughter from another marriage b. about 187? Married Clara Miller around 1892 had two children Earline 1897- Harry Walter 1899. Edward was a Barber by trade & worked in the Southern Hotel as head Barber. Felt Harry Walter was named after his fathers family as the Miller's had no such names in their family. He used Earl and D with his name at times, plus he used Purcell often so I have to work with both names in searching him. He liked to hang out around the railroad yards and might of worked there at one time. Short man , blue eyes and drank and that's all I have to work on. Any help even a little bit close.

I'm researching a Quaker ancestor of mine named Phebe Pearsall, born 1749 or 1750 in Woodbridge, NJ (or perhaps Piscataway or Hempstead, LI). I believe (though I can not yeat prove) that she is the daughter of Samuel Pearsall of Hempstead, who moved to Piscataway sometime before 1749 (possible date) and was the son of Thomas Pearsall (1659) and Mary Seaman (1664), all Quakers from Heampstead. She married Robert FitzRandolph in 1768. and was the mother of a whole bunch of FitzRandolphs who settled in Nova Scotia after the Revolution. Would you possibly have any sources that link this Phebe Pearsall with the Samuel Pearsall of Hempstead and Piscataway? If so, I would be most appreciative to see it. thanks so much.

One of my Great Grandmother's was Sarah Elizabeth Pearsall, born in East Meadow, Long Island on July 1, 1844. She married my Great Grandfather, William HenryHomer, on May 9th 1865 in New York City. They came back to East Meadow where their first child, William Frederick Homer, was born on July 28, 1865. Shortly after that they moved to California where the rest of their children were born. I have found census records of their family in the 1880 and 1890 censuses. I sent to the town clerk of Hempstead for the birth records. The town clerk referred me to New York City where I was told that there were no records kep until 1880. The only other thing that I know is the fact that my grandmother, Sarah Elizabeths daughter gave her mothers maiden name as Seaman.

I have a vague remembrance of my Aunt Mabel telling me that her grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth, had been raised by someone other than her parents. Perhaps her mother was a Seaman and that they helped raise her daughters. That would explain why my grandmother thought her mother's maiden name was Seaman. I have the wedding certificate and page from the family bible, and she is Sarah Pearsall in both. I hope that maybe there are some church records or records somewhere that will help me solve this mystery.

If anyone else has any information, I would appreciate the help.

He and I and "Hank" Wilson were coworkers at the shipping depot on East 5th and Market for several months. Don became Manager of the Standard Oil Denver Division, as I understand it, in the mid- or late 50s. He was a great guy; huge; incredibly strong; simply a very genuine person.

I am looking for information on my great grandfather John W. Persall born in New York about 1806 and he died in Newton County, GA in 1874. Records indicate that he migrated to Georgia around 1830. He started a cotton mill business with Noel Phillips his brother-in-law. He married Elizabeth Stewart about 1836. She was born in 1812. They had six children and one of them John W. Persall Jr. was born in Maryland. he others were born in Georgia. This indicates he moved to Maryland and then back to Georgia. I am very interested in his ancestors and where they came from. I think they came from Ireland.
