Family of Rev. Abraham PIERSON
First Generation
1. Rev. Abraham PIERSON was born1,2 about 1609 in Yorkshire, England and was christened3 on 23 Sep 1609 in Branford, Yorkshire, England. He died4,5,6,7,8 on 9 Aug 1678 in Newark, New Jersey and was buried9 in 1678 in Newark Burying Ground, Newark, NJ.
BIOGRAPHY: Abraham Pierson was the first pastor of the settlements at Southampton, Long Island, Branford, CT and Newark, NJ. He graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1632. On 23 September 1632, he was ordained deacon at the Collegiate Church, Southwell, Nottingham, England. He was a strong Puritan, and left England for America. He was admitted a member of the church in Boston on 5 September 1640. In 1640, he was ordained as the minister in Lynn MA. He and other settlers left Lynn, MA and founded Southampton, Long Island in December 1640. He was strongly opposed to Southampton joining the Connecticut Colony in 1644 because Connecticut did not require Freeman to also be church members. In 1647, he moved to Branford, New Haven Colony, where he organized a church and served as minister for 20 years. He was prominent in the affairs of this colony.
In 1667, he and most of his congregation went to New Jersey when New Haven was absorbed by Connecticut. There they founded Newark. It was to be the last Puritan theocracy in America, where the church laws were almost indistinguishable from the civil laws. Pierson remained the pastor there until his death.
Pierson was a stern and strict Puritan who was held in high regard in both civil and clerical circles. Cotton Mather characterized him as a "godly, learned man" and "wherever he came he shone." When he died, his library included over 400 books (one of the largest collections in the colonies), which were left to his son, Abraham.
