- Samuel and Mary had 11 children. They moved to Monroe Twp., Miami Co., Ohio in 1806. The home that they built is a current day bed and breakfast called "The Willowtree Inn" at 1900 West State Route 571, Tipp City, OH 45371. Samuel's birth date is listed differently by day and month in each source I see it. His cemetery stone says he was born in the 3rd mo. 1767. Pearson researchers say he was born on Nov. 3, 1767. (C-984, 2223)
I suspect it's this Samuel Pearson who trained one of his wife, Mary Coate's younger nephews or great nephews in the following indenture in the deed records for Miami Co., Ohio. A John Coate indentured himself to Samuel Pearson in 1822 or 1828 in Miami County, Ohio. James Coa(...) Jr. and J. Conner witnessed this record. The indenture also involved a Joseph Elmore, Nathan Sharp and Daniel Boyd. It is difficult to read, but written on top of the record, it looks like his indenture was to be for a period of 5 years and 8 months until he achieved the age of 18. It was made on the 3rd day, 5th month, 1822 or 1828 with 1822 being the more likely. It was signed by Joseph J. Coats and Elizabeth Coat as well as John Coat, Samuel Pearson and Samuel (?) on the 7th day, 11 mo, 1830 or 1835. (C-2569)
