Jan – I do believe I have the family tree put together by Pearl. If you search under surnames on this site, you will see a few other Pewsey related posts. I posted Thomas and Joanna’s death records a few months back. You are welcome to print out whatever you like.

Hi, I came across your blogg while casually looking up my family name, Pewsey. I have a copy of the family tree put together by Pearl Pewsey. You probably have that, but if not I can get you copies of it. She did it all by hand. I am the daughter of Howard Pewsey, who was the son of Elmer George Pewsey and Bertha Hobart Pewsey, etc etc all the way back to Thomas Pewsey (1780) and Joanna Payne Pewsey in England. I liked the article from the newspaper. Hope you don’t mind if I copy it to take to show my mom. I am going back to Michigan next week. Armetta Pewsey is 88 and in poor health, she will like seeing this. Dad, Howard Pewsey, passed away 11 years ago.

I enjoy reading old-obituaries. The words used to describe someone’s life in a few sentences tell a lot about the person. It looks like William lived a good life–successful pioneer (even if things were sometimes difficult), nice family, etc.

Thank You for sharing, this confirms a lot of the material that I have gathered. Locally printed obituaries can sometimes be the hardest things to obtain.
