Welcome to the Pearson family.
First record of the name Pearson
If one is looking for the first time that the name Pearson was recorded on an English document, then that honor goes to a Scot, Wautier Pieresonne of Berewyk (Berwickshire), who, in 1226, pledged allegiance to Edward I, King of England in the Ragman’s Roll.
Incidentally, this would put this Pieresonne or Pearson on the wrong side of William Wallace in the Scottish struggle for independence.
