To Jehu and Thomas BARGER and Phebe wife of Abraham YEAGER of Reading £20 each. To Charles COLES of Reading a stove. To 5 children of Elijah PEARSON of Reading, viz: Morris, Elijah, John, Mary and Davies £10 each when 21. A note from Mary PARVIN, now Mary TAYLOR, I give to said Mary and her dau. Elizabeth COLES. Exrs: Joseph WRIGHT and Jesse PEARSON. Wits: Peter THOMAS and Judah THOMAS.
Conjecture: It is reasonable to assume the only living siblings were Lydia (Pearson) Barger and Mary (Pearson) Taylor. Further, Executors Joseph Wright, probably the son of Thomas and Sibilla (Pearson) Wright and Jesse Pearson, son of Elijah and Hannah (Morris) Pearson, are her grand-nephews. The Elijah Pearson named is actually Elijah Pearson Jr., another grand-nephew and brother of Jesse Pearson. Further, Witnesses Peter and Judah Thomas were friends of the family and not related.
