Mary Jane, unm. VII. JOHN. The Pearson Family. This family was of considerable antiquity at Langton, near Hilton Bawn, co. Westmoreland, and related to the Sedgwicks, of that place. The gallant Sir Richard Pearson, R.N., who appears in the following pedigree, greatly distinguished himself, and did good service to his country in the ever-memorable engagement that took place on the 23rd September, 1779, with Commodore Paul Jones, of the "Bon Homme Richard," and the rest of his squadron; the "Alliance" and "Pallas" frigates, and the "Vengeance" brig. Sir Richard commanded the " Seràpis," and by his bravery and conduct saved the Baltic fleet under his convoy, though obliged to submit to a much superior force. The "Seràpis" had 250 men, 49 killed, 68 wounded. All the men and guns abaft the mainmast on the lower deck were blown up, the ship was set on fire several times, and the mainmast shot away. The "Bon Homme Richard lost 306 killed and wounded out of 375 men, was set on fire twice, very much damaged, her lower deck guns dismounted, and so leaky that she sank the next day with all her wounded. During the action, the desperate Commodore lashed his ship to the "Seràpis with his own hand, which doubtless prevented the "Bon Homme Richard" from sinking at an earlier period of the engagement. He also shot his Lieutenant, for hauling down the American colors in surrender, and knocked his chief carpenter on the head down the hold, who had come from below to inform him the ship was sinking. " For this smart though bloody affair, Captain Pearson was knighted by his Sovereign George the Third, made a Governor of Greenwich Hospital, and presented with the freedom of the town and a purse of £300 by the corporation of Hull. Having been dreadfully wounded, the gallant officer only survived his honours a few years, and died greatly lamented by his brother officers, and by none more than by his gracious Sovereign and Patron, George the Third.
