Notes:

Married:
It is frequently stated that Peter married Rachel Newby., daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Hollowell) Newby. There is no evidence in Quaker records checked by compiler or in a 'Newby Genealogy,' privately commissioned by the late Nancy Esther Hutchins Hineman, compiled by the late William Perry Johnson, to indicate this is true. Peter Pearson's will names Nathan Newby brother of Rachel Newby as 'brother.'

Peter Pearsons will names "my seven children" and Rachel Pearsons will names "my six children." Nathan Pearson having predeceased her. Bailey Pearson is nowhere named, giving rise to the possibility that his name was a miscopied version of "Betty."

Notes:

Note:
Pardshaw Cragg is a limestone formation to the north of Ullock,where the Quakers held outdoor services until they built a Meeting House. Christopher was educated at the Parish School,evidently paid for by his grandfather. Christopher Pearson, his family and sister Dorothy became Quakers when George Fox preached in Cumberland in 1653, the same year the first Meeting House was erected at Pardshaw.Christopher Pearson held his own farm and followed a rustic life similar to that of his forebearers. He lived in an exciting age,when the monarchy of England was temporarily suspended. Also in the religious ferment of the seventeenth century, a more liberal Christian sect arose in England, the Society of Friends, more commonly called the 'Quaker' faith, founded by George Fox. There was no official ministry among the Friends; each congregation tended to its own spiritual and temporal needs, while certain inspired people served as missionaries and teachers. If they had meeting houses they held their church affairs there, if not,they would hold services at a Friend's house. Christopher married Eleanor Fearon in Richard Fawcett's house in Eaglesfield on June 9th, 1670. Eleanor Fearon Pearson was a member or a devout and active Friend family, with generations of equally devout Anglican yeomanry in her background. Christopher and Eleanor continued to live in Ullock and were members of the Paardshaw Meetings. Christopher died in Ullock and was buried probably at Pardshaw Crag or Eaglesfield, April 19, 1711. Elinor followed and was buried May 2, 1714.

Pardshaw, or Pardsey, is a small hamlet, 4½ miles S.S.W. of Cockermouth; and Pardshaw Hall is another small hamlet in this township, 4 miles S. by W. of the same town. There is here an ancient Meeting House, belonging to the Society of Friends; and Burn says Pardsey Cragg, was formerly a "most famous place for Quakers, being remote from any church."

Note:
Believed to be our line because all trace of this William Boig ends in Scotland about the time William Bogue appears in Virginia. William Boig, believed our immigrant ancestor, was born to Alexander Boig of Burnhouses and Elizabeth Cokburne probably at the Burnhouses estate in Berwickshire, Scotland. 1650 - William Boig, our ancestor, and his brothers are believed to have served in the Scots army during the latter phases of the Civil War. He probably was captured at Worcester, shipped to Virginia as an indentured servant, changed the spelling of his surname from 'Boig' to 'Bogue' which was a common family practice during his generation. With a natural dislike for the Anglican Church in Virginia he was probably evangelized by Quaker missionaries who were soon ejected from the colony, married the Quaker Jane Edwards, fathered three children, and died in Virginia. His three Quaker children, Robert, William and Margaret migrated to the Province of Carolina with their remarried mother, Jane Loadman. Together they settled in a Quaker community near Hertford along the east bank of the Perquimans River. The Burnhouse property, one of five original Bogue estates, is approximately 550 acres, the same size as it was in 1651. A stream runs through the family estate next to where the houses are located.

William married Jane EDWARDS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
