son of George Pearsall.
George Pearsall: born Dec. 31, 1739 at Herricks, now known as Searingtown,
Long Island, New York and died December 3, 1825; buried on the old Pearsall
farm in Saratoga County, N. Y. (Son of Nathaniel Pearsall)
His first wife was Magdalene Shear of Beekman Duchess County, N. Y. She

Friends Cemetery, Duchess Co. NY. Her father and others started the Lutheran

children. After her death, George Pearsall married another Friend, Deborah
Killey Case of Milton Preparatory Friends Meeting in Conway Massachusetts.
They announced their intent to marry on 8th month, 20, 1814 and were married
12th month, 11, 1814 with a certificate of removal to Galway Friends Meeting
in Saratoga.
Nathaniel Pearsall: Searingtown and Oyster Bay Long Island and Clinton Township,

George Pearsall: No dates. Lived at Herricks, Hempstead on an estate on
Watermelon Hill. He was the father of four children. He was the son of George
Pearsall.
George Pearsall:, son of Henry Pearsall, is buried in the graveyard on the
farm where he lived, and all his people for several generations lie there
beside him. The few gravestones there some years ago had been removed to
the yard of the Searingtown M.E. Church. The farm recently became the grounds
of a mansion on the edge of the hills overlookiong the plains, the owner
whereof has planted the old graveyard with a clump of evergreens so that
the dead may not be disturbed. (Pearsalls, v. 3 p.1201)
Speculation on the absence of records for the Pearsall family at this time
as to wills, registry of birth, weddings and deaths is that their association
with Quakers led them to avoid this worldly practice. It is probable that
record was kept somewhere among Friends and is yet to be discovered.
Henry Pearsall of Hempstead, Long Island, New York
Resided at Pearsall (Lynbrook), Hellgate Neck, and Hempstead, Long Island,
New Netherlands. He married Ann Valentine, widow of Moyles Williams. The
Valentines were Dutch-English traders associated with the Pearsalls in Virginia
in Isle of Wight County where they were also closely related by marriage
with the Marshall family, so much so that it is generally accepted that
from the marriage of a Valentine and a Marshall descended John Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States and Thomas Marshall, Vice President of
the United States. He was one of the founders of Hempstead, Long Island
and was engaged in the family tobacco trade. He was the son of Thomas Pearsall.
Thomas Pearsall
He was born in England and died in Virginia 1642-3. He married Mary Brent,
daughter of William Brent of Gloucestershire and London, England. Mary Brent
was the sister of Margaret, Foulk and Giles Brent. The wife of Samuel Pearsall,
(son of Thomas ) also named Mary and was sister to Margaret Peshall-Brent
of Sisters Freehold. Thomas Pearsall was the son of Edmond Pearsall and
Maria Bathurst.
