If son Abraham was born in Newark then they were probably married there, no proof of dates of either event found.

I'm not sure where or why Susannah was added as a second wife as I did not add it. Since Thomas died before Mary it is unlikely he had a second wife. My records show that Mary Brown was Thomas Pierson's wife. There is some documentation shown on this family at Findagrave.com. This is also documented in the Pierson Millenium which has a lot of Pierson information going back to England.

What is the evidence for a second wife named Susannah?

What is the primary source documentation for his date and place of birth? None is given here, none is given on his parents profiles.

This profile is very heavily relying upon research done prior to 1878 on a family with many known errors in research of that era as well as unsourced Ancestry records. It would greatly benefit from primary source documentation in addition to confirm the basic information.

Pierson-133 and Pierson-558 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles seem to be for the same person!
