Dea. John Pearson and wife Dorcas came from England to Ipswich, then to Rowley, Mass., in 1643, bringing with him machinery for a *Fulling mill, which was the first in this country. Supposing America had no wood that would stand water, he brought cedar posts also. Some of these posts were taken up about 1800, and found in a good state of preservation. He leased a grist mill of P. Nelson, which his son John subsequently bought. He was sent to the general court in 1678, and eight times after; was also selectman. In 1660 his tax was £1, 6s., id., and in 1891 It was £7, 15s., the highest but one in Rowley.
{*Fulling, also known as tucking or walking, is a step in woolen clothmaking which involves the cleansing of cloth (particularly wool) to eliminate oils, dirt, and other impurities, and making it thicker. The worker who does the job is a fuller, tucker, or walker,[1] all of which have become common surnames. Source: Wikipedia}
