PEARSON: Alexandria, Danbury, Bristol, Farmington, NH and Haverhill, MA
Searching for information on the following PEARSON familes:
Horace B Pearson m Love Jane Gray, daughter of Samuel Gray and Mary Townsend Edgerly.Love/Lovey was born in Alexandria, as was Horace B Pearson.
Living in New Durham, Strafford, NH in 1870, and Farmington, Strafford NH in 1880. Children: Loren Augustus, Hiram W, Frank M, Nettie Lovey, Edwin L.
Some of these Pearsons moved to Haverhill MA.
Loren Augustus Pearson (born July 1853) m Anne F Anthony. 1880 living in Farmington NH. By 1900 he and Anne were living in Haverhill, MA. Loren worked for shoe factory. Loren died 12 Feb 1919, Annie moved to Rhode Island to live with her brother.
Hiram W Pearson m Mabel G __. 1880 living in Farmington NH. By 1900 he and Mabel were living in Haverhill MA. Children: Geneva, Lara?, Horace, Hazel and Fern. I can follow HIram and his family up to the 1930 census. Hiram worked for many years as a policeman for Haverhill City.
Frank M Pearson m Ida F __. 1900 Frank and Ida are in Haverhill MA. In 1920, Frank is widowed and living back in Farmington NH. He stays there into 1930 census. He lived in a boarding home ran by the Tuttle women. He died 28 April 1937.
Nettie L Pearson (born Oct 1862) m George C Perkins and they moved to Haverhill by 1900 as well. They had three children that lived, Walter Ivan, Ethel M and Edwin Clarence Perkins. Edwin Clarence Perkins is my great-grandfather.
Edwin L Pearson (born Oct 1870) married first Mary Julia Henderson, second Nora Grant.Edwin died 17 Nov 1937.
Any information on these people is appreciated. Thank you.

Also Looking for more information on the following PEARSON family, which may possibly turn out to be the family members of HORACE B PEARSON.
Alexandria, NH
Enumerated 12 Aug 1850
William Pearson 45 Farmer [b abt 1805] MA
Hariet or Henriet Pearson 46 [b abt 1804] NH
Mary Pearson 26 [b abt 1824] NH
Shurbern Pearson 27 Laborer [b abt 1823] NH
Cyrus Pearson 20 Laborer [b abt 1830] NH
Eliza Pearson 16 [b abt 1834] NH
Alvah Pearson 13 (male) [b abt 1837] NH
Harriet Pearson 5 [b abt 1845] NH
Alvin Pearson 2 [b abt 1848] NH
Not certain how this family is related to my Horace Pearson. Interesting that they are in Alexandria, where Lovey (Love Jane Gray, Horace's wife) was from, and where Horace says he was from on his childrens birth records in lower New Hampshire.
1860 census of William & Henriet Pearson (same family as above!?!? Note the differences in ages, by a few years here and there from the 1850 census above. (I have seen this before during this time frame in the census records)
Enumerated on 22 June 1860
Alexandria, NH
William J Pearson, 61 b abt 1798 MA [birth year off by -7 years]
Henriet M Pearson, 51 b abt 1808 NH [birth year off by +4 years]
Mary J Pearson, 39 b abt 1820 NH [birth year off by +4 years]
Joseph S Pearson, 28 b abt 1831 NH [no match to Sherbern or Cyrus in 1850 census above]
William A Pearson, 19 b abt 1840 NH [maybe William Alvah? birth year off by +3 years]
Harriet M Pearson, 14 b abt 1845 NH [birth year matches right up]
Charles A Pearson, 13 b abt 1846 NH [maybe Charles Alvin?]
George W Pearson, 9 b abt 1850 NH
1870 Census - closest match to this family:
Enumerated 13 June 1870
lines 24-27
Danbury, Merrimack Co, NH [Danbury was formed from part of Alexandria]
Willard? Persons, 70 yrs, b abt 1800 Male White Farmer 500 200 MA
Harriet Persons 68 yrs, b abt 1801 Female White Keeping House NH
George W Persons 19 yrs, b abt 1850 Male White S---- on Farm NH NOV
Augusta Persons 21 yrs, b abt 1848 Female White Keeping House NH NOV
[George and Augusta were married the previous November - 1869]
Looks like Charles married and lived in Alexandria: 1880 census
Charles A, wife Ella A, children Bert H and William L Pearsons.
Joseph S and George W lived together in 1880 census in Danbury, Merrimack Co, NH - not far from hometown Alexandria, considering Danbury was formed from part of Alexandria] George married an ABBIE A. [Abigail Augusta?] Listed under PEARSON.
Since George and Abbie/Augusta were living in Danbury just 10 years prior with George's parents, is it possible that they stayed in the same house after the parents died, and brother Joseph moved in with them to help on the farm? Cannot locate William or Harriet/Henriet in 1880 census, and since they would be in their 80's, it is probable that they passed on.
1900 Census- Bristol, Grafton, NH
line 81-83 5 June 1900
George Pearson Head W M Aug 1850 49 Married 10 NH NH NH Farmer
Mary E Pearson Wife W F Aug 1853 46 Married 10 3 3 NH NH NH
---- Pearson G-dren W M June 1883 26 Single NH NH NH Hotel Steward
George and Mary E married about 1890. If this is the same George, this would be a second marriage for him.
Any information on these persons would be helpful in determining a link (or not) to my Horace B Pearson.
