• Notes

  Ancestor to President Franklin PIERCE Dea. John Pearson and wife Dorcas came from England to Ipswich, then to Rowley, Mass., in 1643, bringing with him machinery for a Fulling mill, which was the first in this country. Supposing America had no wood that would stand water, he brought cedar posts also. Some of these posts were taken up about 1800, and found in a good state of preservation. He leased a grist mill of P. Nelson, which his son John subsequently bought. He was sent to the general court in 1678, and eight times after; was also selectman. In 1660 his tax was £1, 6s., id., and in 1891 It was £7, 15s., the highest but one in Rowley.  He died 1693 and his wife in died 1703.
