     1. Notes for ALEXANDER PEARCY: from Donald MacDonald
[Pearcy1.FTW]
Alexander's will indicates that he owned a farm in Indiana. His wife inherited the farm but there is no mention of her name. Walter Talmage Pearcy petitioned the surrogate court in the case of his will. Walter is living in Harriston, Wellington county, Ontario at the time of the petition. That seems to be were Alexander died.

Alexander's brothers and sister are: James, John, David, Thomas, William, Gilbert, and Jane. Jane's married name is Bell.

He owned two properties in Toronto, Canada. #155 Shaw Street, and lots 2 & 4 Paimerston Square, plan 219.

In his will he gave $1000 to: Mary Jane, Elizabeth (Birdie), and Susan, daughters of his late bother Gilbert (1835-1878), Jane Pearcy, Gilberts wife also got $1000. They lived in Toronto, Ontario.

In the will Alexander has Walter living in the town Harriston, county of Wellington. I belive this is the Walter that petition the court. The rest of them lived in Toronto, Ontario.

Jane (Bell), his sister got $2000. She lived in Barrie.

Margret Pearcy, his niece got $450. It is not clear from the will were she fits in or were she lives. His brother Gilbert had a daughter named Margret. She is not mention**

** Gilbert and Jane had 5 daughters; Martha Ann, Mary Jane, Gilberta Isabella (Waghorn), Susan Elizabeth, and Margret. This information is from the will of Martha Ann Pearcy, spinster. Died 21 February, 1916 in Toronto, Ontario. This for some reason does not fit with Alexander's will. Martha Ann, Susan Elizabeth, Margret, and mother Jane are all buried at St. James cemetery, Toronto, Ontairo.

He gave $4000 each to two Presbyterian churches. One in White county, Indiana, the other in Tottenham, Ontario (Fraser). He gave another $3000 to a third Presbyterian. church in Indiana.

An artical written by Thomas Edward Champion, 1899 (Methodist Churches of Toronto) on Gilbert and Margaret (Sanderson) Pearcy indicate that the family came to Canada around 1820 from County Down Ireland. The spelling of the name may originaly have been PERCY. It looks like the spelling was changed bwtween 1840-1850. See notes for Gilbert F. Pearcy.
