• Notes

  from the collaboration there are no children in this marriage See notes under both father and mother r See notes under both father and mother relative to information about James. The following came from Smith - Tilton Genealogy (page 293) on internet (www.google.com) related to Abigail Clark. Children of Abraham PIERSON (President of Yale Co) and Abigail CLARKE were as follows: 15 v James3 PIERSON, born 1685 in probably Newark Essex Co New Jersey; died 26 Jan. 1750 in Killingworth Middesex Co Connecticut; buried in Clinton Cemetery Clinton Middlesex Co Connecticut. He married on 18 Jan. 1733 in Killingworth Middlesex Co Connecticut Abiah (BRISTOL) PIERSON, born 1688 in Newark Essex Co New Jersey; died 30 Sep. 1751 in Killingworth Middesex Co Connecticut; buried in Clinton Cemetery Clinton Middlesex Co Connecticut.

PROBATE: Mother's Probate: Mr James second son ...total 11=04==06. INTERNET: Family Group Record FamilySearch Ancestral File. GS: JAMES PIERSON DIED Jan. 2-- AGE --6 (eroded) )(Hale Collection on microfilm:702-1:13:section 2) Rootsweb.com had 37 entries for James Pierson, born 1685 +/- 2 years in New Jersey (James' father's estate lists him as age 22 in June 1707, so his birth was about 1685). Of these 37 entries, 23 had James married to an Abiah or Abiel Bristol. No children were listed for this family in any of the 37 entries. The New.familysearch.org (NFS) has a close match for James married to an Esther Williams with children, and 2 parital matches listed James with spouse Abiel or Abiah Bristol, but with no children. The entry of James Pierson with spouse of Esther Williams does not appear to be the correct listing for the James Pierson, son of Abraham Pierson / Abigail Clark. No children were listed on 34 WCs for James or on one OWT entry.
