Biography

Rachel was a Friend (Quaker)

Rachel was born about 1714 at Perquimans, Carolina the daughter of William and Elinor (Perisho) Bogue. No documentation of her birth has been found in Quaker meeting minutes.

The first records of Rachel are found in the Piney Woods Monthly Meeting (Perquimans) minutes and are marriage intentions with Peter Pearson Sr dated January and February of 1634.^[1]

A record of Rachel's death has not been found but it is before 7 Nov 1746 when Peter Pearson marries out of unity to Mary Ann (Martin) Jessop.

Probable Children^[2]

Note: not knowing the death date of Rachel, it is assumed that the children born prior to Peter Pearson's second marriage to Mary Ann (Martin) Jessop are the children of Rachel.

Research Notes

Care must be taken with this profile as there are multiple people in this location at this time named Rachel Pearson, including the wife of Rachel Bogue's brother Robert.

In various earlier genealogies such as that written by Flora Bogue Deming and the 1974 edition of "One Ladd's Family" by Ruth Kline Ladd shows Rachel married to a John Moore with various children. This is without documentation and in the 2002 revision of the research of Ruth Kline Ladd the Moore marriage is not mentioned but the marriage to Peter Pearson (with will, etc) is given.
