About Mary Scarbrough

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pearson-399

The birth date of Mary Pearson has not been established but is frequently seen as 1647.

The only documentary evidence found to date on Mary is that she is mentioned in the Will of her father Lawrence Pearson where she is clearly described as having special "necessities" requiring the oversight of the Executors of the will. See Lawrence's profile for his Will. Given her special necessities requiring the assistance of others, it seems unlikely that she married and emigrated to Pennsylvania and livedto the age of 104 as is frequently seen in unsourced genealogy.

Unproven Information It is frequently seen that she married in Pennsylvania to a William Smith or John Scarbrough. This is currently unproven and please see the notations above regarding Mary's special needs.

Mary's mother is also uncertain - could be Ann Worth or Elizabeth. Ann's death could have been 1645 or 1648.
