Pearson Family History

Pearson Genealogy & Family Tree

Pearson is an English name from Berwickshire, England, where one of the earliest known ancestors—Walter Pierson—was recorded in 1296. It means “son of Pierre,” a French given name that means “rock” or “stone” (like its English counterpart, Peter). The family motto is Perduret probitas which means “Let honesty endure.”

Other spellings include “Peerson,” “Pierson,” and “Peirson.” Notable people with the surname include American actress Felicia Pearson (The Wire), American jazz musician Duke Pearson, British actress April Pearson (Skins), American freak punk musician Justin Pearson (Swing Kids, The Locust), and American football player Drew Pearson (Dallas Cowboys). The first Pearson to come to America was Mary Pearson in Virginia in 1646.
