PEARSON, Sam[ue]ll, s. Jeremiah, jr. and Sarah, [born] Sept. 4, 1747.
↑ There is a guardianship file in Essex County Probate dated 1759 for his brother Jeremiah, labeling the father as deceased, but Samuel is not mentioned, nor is a file found for him, so it is probable he died before this time. More concretely, he is not mentioned in his grandfather's will of 1770.
