  	Apparently the Pearsons living in the same household got on agreeably with one another. Dorothy Pearson remained a spinster and embraced the Quaker faith. In her April 1695 will, executed the following October (1696), she requested that 'my Body be Buryed at that Decent Buryall place at Eaglesfield', which must have been a Friend's graveyard. To her niece, whom she called 'cousin' by the terminology of the time, Mary Pearson, she bequeathed 'four pounds of lawful money and my best Rayment of Cloaths and a Back Board and on Hokanby spoon and one Boxstanding in the Upper Room above stairs.' Her nephew, Thomas Oyes was left 10 shillings; her sister, Isabell Oyes, 4shillings, Richard and William Oyes, sums of money also. 'I give unto my Brother Christopher Peirson foure pounds of money and one Barrell and one chaire...' She left provision for 'all such victualls as are in the house towards my funerale'. Unto several persons, friends and perhaps relatives, she made several small bequests.
