Hello Tim,
I'm searching for the decendents of the Pearsall families that are in the Pearsall Family Ancestry Books written by Clarence Pearsall, in hopes to continue the books from where they left off. I am the decendent of Henry Pearsall, George Pearsall, Henry Pearsall,
Hezekiah Pearsall, Uriah Pearsall, Peter Roebuck Pearsall, Phineas Carman Pearsall, Alfred Everson Pearsall, Ralph Cornish Pearsall, Ruth Pearsall Wycoff, Joan Wycoff. That is my line in the Pearsall Books. If you have any questions about Pearsalls, this is one of the many places to ask them.
Good luck,
Debbie

Leaves to Joseph Williams "a pair of oxen I bought of Mr. Fordhams," also some land upon ye north side lying in the New Field.

In the early Hempstead Town Records we find several reference to Henry:
1658, November 27.-The Town Clerk transmits to the Governor the names of Richard Gildersleeve, William Schadden, Robert Forman and Henry Pearsall-all men of honest life- and desires him to appoint two of them magistrates. He adds, "It hath pleased God after a sickly and sad summer to give us a seasonable and comfortable autumn, wherewith we have been (through mercy) refreshed and gained strength of God, so that we necessarily have been employed in getting winter food for our cattle and thereby have prolonged our wonted time of choosing magistrates." Gildersleeve and Forman were appointed.-Dutch MSS., xii, 98.
1659, February 3.-Some of the public debts and charge of the town for the year past, brought in by the persons undernamed.
Henry Pearsall, for a bottle of drams to the Sagamore, by order, ....... 5.
Goodman Pearsall, for the use of his team in carrying the corn to the town-house for the rent,........ 2.6
1659, January 2.
Henry Pearsall, three years ago, in making up his reckoning found half a crown charged, but he so far convinced Brudenell that he did wipe it out. A second time he charged so heavy that he bid him trust him no more: if he did he would never pay him.
COLONIAL HEMPSTEAD
The Remonstrance of 1649 speaks of "Heemstee" as superior to all the other English towns because of its richness in cattle. During these years there was no one great cattle owner, either. In 1683 John Jackson, the largest owner, had 30 cows, 20 hogs, 14 oxen, 10 horses, and 3 sheep. John Seaman had 16 cows, 12 hogs, 14 oxen, 7 horses, and 70 sheep. In 1657 the cattle turned onto the Neck showed from 1 to 30 to a person, no one having more.

In 1988 there is an article by Matthew Wood "THE FAMILY OF MOYLES WILLIAMS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PROPERIETORS OF HEMPSTEAD, LONG ISLAND.
"The name "Moyles Williams" appears on a list of the oringinal proprietors of Hempstead dreived from the old "Mouse Eaten Book" of town records, which is now lost. The history of Moyles and his immediate family is exceedingly obscure, due to the fact he and his sons died in med-life. There is only one other record from Long Island which refers to Moyles. In 1667 the heirs of "Michael Williams" quit-claimed their interest in the estate of Henry Pearsall who had married their widowed mother Ann. Fortunately these notices can be enriched by reference back to New England. Moyles and Ann Williams of Hempstead are clearly identical to Michael and Ann (Pankhurst) Williamson of Ipswich, Massachusetts and Newport, Rhode Island. This fact has not been brought out in previous work on the subject."
In 1942, "The Fabulous Pearsalls" by Herbert Seversmith and Arthur Wardwellan was published in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST Vol. 18; 78-90; 153-171. In the article, the authors questioned the accuracy of the documentation for Thomas Pearsall, his existence on Long Island, of him being the father of Henry Pearsall of Hempstead, or of Henry having any brothers. Hopefully, further research by Pearsall descendants and other interested researchers will verify the accuracy of this lineage.

In 1988 there is an article by Matthew Wood "THE FAMILY OF MOYLES WILLIAMS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PROPERIETORS OF HEMPSTEAD, LONG ISLAND.
"The name "Moyles Williams" appears on a list of the oringinal proprietors of Hempstead dreived from the old "Mouse Eaten Book" of town records, which is now lost. The history of Moyles and his immediate family is exceedingly obscure, due to the fact he and his sons died in med-life. There is only one other record from Long Island which refers to Moyles. In 1667 the heirs of "Michael Williams" quit-claimed their interest in the estate of Henry Pearsall who had married their widowed mother Ann. Fortunately these notices can be enriched by reference back to New England. Moyles and Ann Williams of Hempstead are clearly identical to Michael and Ann (Pankhurst) Williamson of Ipswich, Massachusetts and Newport, Rhode Island. This fact has not been brought out in previous work on the subject."
In 1942, "The Fabulous Pearsalls" by Herbert Seversmith and Arthur Wardwellan was published in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST Vol. 18; 78-90; 153-171. In the article, the authors questioned the accuracy of the documentation for Thomas Pearsall, his existence on Long Island, of him being the father of Henry Pearsall of Hempstead, or of Henry having any brothers. Hopefully, further research by Pearsall descendants and other interested researchers will verify the accuracy of this lineage.
Thomas Pearsall and Mary Brent had the following children:
2 i. Thomas2 Pearsall was born in England 1609. Thomas died abt 1667 in Long Island, NY.
3 ii. Henry Pearsall was born abt 1611. Henry died abt 1664. He married Ann Pankhurst. Ann was born abt 1624. Ann died abt 1667. He was one of the founders of Hempstead, Long Island and was engaged in the family tobacco trade.
4 iii. Nicholas Pearsall was born abt 1613. He married Sarah ??.
5 iv. George Pearsall was born abt 1615. George died abt 1682. He married ?? ?? abt 1636.

Henry Pearsall, the immigrant, was among the early settlers of Hemp- stead. His son, Nathaniel, had there grown to manhood, and about 1674 there married Martha Seaman, as elsewhere stated, a daughter of Captain John Seaman.

In 1988 there is an article by Matthew Wood "THE FAMILY OF MOYLES WILLIAMS, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL PROPERIETORS OF HEMPSTEAD, LONG ISLAND.
"The name "Moyles Williams" appears on a list of the oringinal proprietors of Hempstead dreived from the old "Mouse Eaten Book" of town records, which is now lost. The history of Moyles and his immediate family is exceedingly obscure, due to the fact he and his sons died in med-life. There is only one other record from Long Island which refers to Moyles. In 1667 the heirs of "Michael Williams" quit-claimed their interest in the estate of Henry Pearsall who had married their widowed mother Ann. Fortunately these notices can be enriched by reference back to New England. Moyles and Ann Williams of Hempstead are clearly identical to Michael and Ann (Pankhurst) Williamson of Ipswich, Massachusetts and Newport, Rhode Island. This fact has not been brought out in previous work on the subject."
In 1942, "The Fabulous Pearsalls" by Herbert Seversmith and Arthur Wardwellan was published in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST Vol. 18; 78-90; 153-171. In the article, the authors questioned the accuracy of the documentation for Thomas Pearsall, his existence on Long Island, of him being the father of Henry Pearsall of Hempstead, or of Henry having any brothers. Hopefully, further research by Pearsall descendants and other interested researchers will verify the accuracy of this lineage.
Thomas Pearsall and Mary Brent had the following children:
2 i. Thomas2 Pearsall was born in England 1609. Thomas died abt 1667 in Long Island, NY.
3 ii. Henry Pearsall was born abt 1611. Henry died abt 1664. He married Ann Pankhurst. Ann was born abt 1624. Ann died abt 1667. He was one of the founders of Hempstead, Long Island and was engaged in the family tobacco trade.
