Family |
Rachel NEWBY, b. Abt 1690, VA d. 25 Jun 1750, Perquimans Co., NC (Age 60 years) |
Marriage |
Abt 1709 |
Nansemond, Nansemond, VA [3, 6] |
- 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."
