There are two very distinct groups, the first being my father's family which is 100 
percent Swedish.  The second group is my mother's family, which consists of 
predominately British lines in America.  The following is a list of arrivals in 
America of my first documented ancestors in the colonies.

these men are well worth the reading.

The credit for this work must be shared with my mother's cousin Charles Weir Walker, 
who worked on the Barnett, Scudder, and Badgley lines, began this work in 1958.  I 
began to work on this in 1964 and my father, Paul William Pearson "caught the bug" 
about the same time.  Dad worked on the Bentley, Bishop, and Martin lines and 
compiled all of the data into one book.  Also, thanks and credit must be given to 
Daryl Lee Bruner for all of his assistance and information on the Morgan and Martin 
lines.  The Swedish side of the family was more interesting in tracing due to the 
Swedish use of patronymics for surnames, this work was greatly assisted by two 
cousins of my father, Alta Hallberg Sodergern of Kalamazoo, Michigan and Karin 
Eriksson Hansson of Falun, Dalarna, Sweden.

Please remember that this is a work in process and any comments, suggestions, 
additions or corrections are welcome.
