Descendants of Lawrence Pearl

1. Lawrence Pearl ¹ ^,2 was born on 28 Aug 1793 in Frederick County, MD, died on 26 Oct 1868 in Deavertown, Morgan County, OH at age 75, and was buried in St. Dominic's McCluney Catholic Cemetery, Perry County, OH.

General Notes: BACKGROUND:

Lawrence/Laurence Pearl was a descendant of Robert Pearl, a mulatto, of Maryland.

According to Mary Clement Jeske, PhD, University of Maryland, "I don't think Robert was part Spanish or American Indian. The court record says he was "a molotto" "born of a Negro slave." There weren't many Indians in Maryland, certainly not by the time Robert was born, and virtually no Indian slaves. Besides, a mixture of white and Indian would be a "mestizo." A mixture of a Spaniard and a white would have been white, and there were certainly no Spanish slaves; there weren't even any Spaniards in Maryland. So born of a "Negro slave" and the designation "mulatto" make it pretty clear he was the son of awhite man and a black slave woman."

Robert Pearl was likely the son of Richard Marsham, a white widower, whose wife died in 1670. Marsham didn't marry again until 1699, at which time he married Anne Calvert, the granddaughter of Lord Baltimore. Marsham's will reveals that the slave Sarah, followed by mulattos, Robert Pearl and James, were favored by Marsham. Court records indicate that Robert's mother was a slave.

Excerpt from Marsham's Will: "Item: I will that my Slave Named Robert (a Molatto) Serve my Executor until he shall arrive to the age of thirty five years his age being now accounted Twenty Eight years, and then the said Robert and his Wife and Child which he now hath to be fully discharged and set free provided they be vigilant and faithful to my Executorduring the time of their servitude but in Case they have other Children, that those other Children Continue Slaves to my Executor."

Robert Pearl, a Mulatto, owned slaves.

The will of Robert Pearl (signed by mark) of Frederick County, "sick, was dated 3 September 1765. To son Daniel Pearl he bequeathed negroes Peter, Rachel, Nanny, and Harry. To son James Pearl he bequeathed negroes Lucy, Pegg, Jermey, Jo, and Lids. To son Basil Pearl he bequeathed negroes George, Bess, Liney, Bill, and Jeney. To son Daniel he also bequeathed a horse and my own lodging bed and furniture. To Elizabeth Jarvis (no relationship specified) he bequeathed corn, wheat and tobacco each year, plus one bed and furniture that is "in the chapel,(29) a cow, and 200 pounds of pork for two years. He directed that the remainder of stock, crops in the ground, and cider be divided among his three sons, they letting the (field) hands stay to finish it. To son Basil was given the dwelling plantation (not named). To sons Charles and Thomas and daughters Ann Marshall and Catherine Dean he bequeathed 5 shillings each. The remainder was bequeathed to sons James and Basil appointed executors. Witnesses were William Botelor, Thomas Duckett, John Johnson, and Thomas Johnson.

Regarding the relatives of Richard Marsham, there is much confusion about who's who in the genealogy files on ancestry.com. Two DNA matches to me are related to Richard Marsham, but in short, most people have done a terrible job with their genealogy research.

Sarah Marsham, the ancestor of one of my DNA matches, was first married to Basil Waring. But she married at least two more times. Her third husband was Rev. James Haddock, and she apparently had a daughter named Mary Haddock, who was the ancestor of this one person who is my DNA match. In the Will of Richard Marsham, which I just looked at, he gave his daughter Sarah Haddock a gold ring, and to Reverend James Haddock (her husband), he left 5 pounds sterling.

Mary Marsham, 1669-1713, married Charles Beaven. One person who compiled a genealogy says she had no children - but this DNA match says she had a son Richard Beaven (later Bevan, etc) and perhaps other children. Richard Beaven later had a son named Richard Waring Beaven.... People seem to be uncertain whether Mary Marsham is the daughter of our Richard Marsham or his sister. Based on her birthdate, it would seem that she is his daughter. When Mary married Charles Beaven, Richard Marsham conveyed 600-acre "Hickory Thicket" to him. This was part of a land grant Richard had settled/claimed earlier. -- Attached, from COMPLETE AMERICAN ARMOURY & BLUE BOOK shows the lineage from the subject, Horace Bevan, back to his parents, Charles Beaven and Mary Marsham, DAUGHTER of Richard Marsham. -- Mary Marsham and Richard Marsham (b 1638), both died in 1713. In her will, made in 1712, Mary left her property to her executor and "well beloved Richard Marsham."

I do not know the lineage from ROBERT PEARL, who died 1765, to our LAWRENCE PEARL, born about 1793.

She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at St. Patrick's near Junction city. She had not yet passed the years that marked the zenith of her life. Just in the sunniest hours of her voyage over life's tumultuos sea, she dashed against the unseen monster, Death. Prepared, and rocked to sleep, by the the consolations of her Holy Faith, she sustained a vital relation to the eternal welfare of her soul, and where, for the last time her mortal form was carried through the portals of the church, how awe inspiring the melodious chant of priestly prayer and Holy Mass. Asleep in mother earth's embrace; we say "farewell!" The night of death is short. We meet again, when morning dawns. Weep not dear friends, this earth is cursed, and is not worth the tear of love to fall upon it. J. L. Y."

General Notes: Information from Joan Perrell Moore's correspondence with Dora's granddaughter, Janet Pearl O'Hara:

Dora Pearl was committed to the State Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, in January 1935, and died there. The property that she inherited from her father, John J. Pearl - all 40 acres of it - was sold to C. E. Hall in March of 1933, for $350.00. Her father had originally paid $600 for it. Janet Pearl O'Hara said that after the Halls owned it, it stood empty for over 20 years. Then the Air Force family bought it and let it be used as a retreat. As of 2003 we know that there is a woman living in the house. Janet and her daughter Loretta Swartz have met her. The barn and house are still there and usable. There is another house on the same property that has been purchased by another family and they are very nice, according to Loretta Swartz."

Janet Pearl O'Hara, Dora's granddaughter, said that in June of 1958, her father Clarence and Dora went somewhere for the weekend and when they came back all Dora stated was that they had found Clarence's father and it was too late. He had died 3 months before.

Janet: "My grandmother Dora inherited the farm & as you know it was later sold. The house set empty for several years. My father was drawn there every Fall. Even after he & mother retired in Fla. they came home every Sept. so he could go to "Possom Hollar". He and great grampa would be so happy because both of my brothers & I have visited there in the past 15 yrs. My husband & I found the farm several years ago. - A retired Air Force man & his wife bought the house, barn & land and it is now a Franciscan Retreat for religious. The barn had the original roof that great grandpa & dad put on it. I'll try to locate some pictures I took. - I don't remember Grandmother Dora before she was put in the hospital but we always went to see her & mother always made it a special time with a picnic after. - The priest that gave my father's eulogy didn't know dad, but he knew my grandmother Dora. He said she was a cook in Mt. Sinai Hospital in Cleveland. A very loving and caring woman and a fantastic baker of bread which she always shared with him & his mother."

Biography: F. M. PEARL, postmaster of Hiawatha, Kans., is a native of Ohio. He was born in Perry County, October 20, 1864, and is a son of William A. and Elizabeth (Studer) Pearl, both natives of Ohio. The mother was born in Perry County of German* ancestry. The Pearl family is of Spanish** origin, and the first record of their settlement in America was at Marblehead, Mass., in 1671. William Pearl, was a grandson of Captain Nichols, an Englishman, who was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. William A. Pearl was born in Morgan County, Ohio, March 17, 1836***, and when a young man went to Zanesville, Ohio, where he worked as a journeyman cigar maker, and later engaged in the manufacturing of cigars, until he retired from business. He now resides at El Reno, Okla. His wife died in December, 1909. F. M. Pearl attended the district schools in Perry County, Ohio, until he was fifteen years old and in the spring of 1879, began work as a farm laborer, and the following year got employment on a gravel train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, as water boy, and worked at various odd jobs until the spring of 1885. In 1884, he purchased a telegraph instrument, and at spare times studied telegraphy, practicing on his instrument. He was working as railroad section hand at this time, and in January, 1885, the local railroad agent taught him station work. In June, 1885, he took charge of a station and followed railroad work in Ohio, until September, 1887. He was then in the employ of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company at Newark, Ohio, and resigned to accept a position with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company at Fairbury, Neb., which was the terminal of that road at the time. December 15, 1887, he entered the employ of the St. Joseph & Grand Island, as station agent at Fairfield, and remained in the employ of this company in station work, in various points until 1894. In 1891, while agent at Robinson, he began reading law, and in November, 1894, soon after severing his connection with the railroad company, he was admitted to the bar at Hiawatha, Kans., Judge J. F. Thompson, father of Senator Thompson, presiding at the time. He then engaged in the practice of law at Robinson, Kans., remaining there until November, 1898, when he came to Hiawatha, where he has since been successfully engaged in the practice of his profession. Mr. Pearl is a Democrat, and has always taken an active part in political affairs. He has served as City Attorney of Hiawatha two terms, and was County Attorney of Brown county one term, and while County Attorney, he conducted a campaign against joints, gambling houses and gambling devices, with such vigor that it was but a short time, until Brown County was free from lawlessness of that character. In 1909, he purchased the "Kansas Democrat" and reorganized that paper, and has since been its editor and publisher. The "Democrat" is a live weekly newspaper, and has a large circulation, and is now the official county paper of Brown County. In 1902, he was the Democratic nominee for Attorney General and carried more than his party vote, but the overwhelming odds were against him, and he lost in a hard fought campaign. In 1912, he was floor leader of the Wilson forces at the Hutchinson Democratic State Convention, and brought in a minority report instructing the Kansas delegates to the Baltimore Convention for Wilson. In 1908, he was chairman of the Kansas delegation to the National Democratic Convention in Denver. In 1908, he was appointed local attorney for the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company. Mr. Pearl was the original promoter of the Brown County Telephone Company, now known as the Northeast Kansas Telephone Company. This was in 1901, and it was the first telephone company in Hiawatha, and he has been secretary and attorney of this company since its organization. He was also one of the organizers of the Life and Annuity Association, and was its president for a number of years. This is a fraternal insurance company, with headquarters at Hiawatha, and has members in every State in the Union. On January 12, 1914, Mr. Pearl was appointed Postmaster of Hiawatha, and is now serving in that capacity. He was married April 2, 1892****, to Miss Cordelia, daughter of J. M. and Jane (Hobbs) Idol, of Brown County, Kansas. The father is a prominent farmer and stockman, and has been a member of the board of county commissioners, being the first Democrat to be elected to that position in Brown County. Mrs. Pearl was born in Walla Walla, Washington. Her father was a native of North Carolina, and mother of Missouri. They were married at White Cloud, Kansas, and about the time the Civil War broke out, they crossed the plains with an ox team, and went to the Pacific Coast, and finally settled at Walla Walla, Washington. They returned to Kansas in 1868. Mrs. Pearl was educated in the public schools of Kansas, and Campbell University, Holton, and taught school seven years before her marriage. To Mr. & Mrs. Pearl have been born six children: Lucile, graduated from Mt. Saint Scholastica's Convent, Atchison, in the class of 1912, winning the gold medal for proficiency in music; Lenore, died at Alburquerque, N.M., June 21, 1912, aged 18 years, one month and three days; Idol, a student at Wentworth Military Academy, Wentworth, Mo.; Sutro, Cordelia, and Francis, all attending the public schools.

301. Shannon Marie Pearl was born on 3 Mar 1978 in Wheeling, Ohio County, WV and died on 12 Aug 2020 in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland at age 42.

General Notes: From her husband on Facebook, 12 Aug 2020: "Monday night around 9pm Shannon had a ruptured aneurysmin in the back of her head that rendered her unconscious. The location of it near her spinal cord also gave her a cardiac attack which did its own additional damage. I was with her when this happened and she was in an ambulance within 15min and in the emergency room shortly after. Unfortunately the circumstances of the attack made any recovery almost impossible. The fine folks at Johns Hopkins were with her every minute and they also informed me that even if this happened while already at the hospital, or if this was something noticed in the past, there was very little to have been done to change the outcome. It was decided to remove life support on Tuesday afternoon but knowing what a sweet amazing angel she is and the fact that she is an organ donor, she continued on life support until 8:59am this Wednesday morning when they could gather a few deserving people who could benefit from this amazing woman like we all have over the years. There is a bumpy road ahead no doubt. I hope that I can rise up to her standard and I take comfort in knowing that our boys have been gifted with her strength and characteristics to help guide us through these times. We'll always love her, we'll always miss her."
