of seventy-six years. His sons. Enoch, Jonas, and Thomas, Jr., all of
whom had families, came here at the same time, and settled on Section

different members of the Pearson family then entered land on portions
of Sections 20. 21, 22 and 29. Thomas. Sr, was a Quaker minister of
considerable notoriety, while his son Enoch was the first blacksmith
in the township. Samuel P. was accompanied by his nine sons.
