Individual Details
John Pearson
(17 Feb 1610 - 22 Dec 1693)
He brought machinery for a fulling mill from England, the first of these mills in the colonies. He was a selectman and in eight different years was a representative to the general court. He must have been fairly successful for the time as in 1660 his tax bill was the second highest in the town.
