Tilden, Samuel J. (Samuel Jones), 1814-1886
Catherine Peirson (1796-1888) was a descendant of Henry Peirson (1618-1680), who departed Yorkshire, England in 1639. The Peirson family settled in Massachusetts, in Suffolk County, New York, and in Morristown, New Jersey. The daughter of Captain Nathan Peirson, Catherine owned several properties in Richmond, Massachusetts, a small town adjacent to Columbia County, New York, where Samuel J. Tilden was born and raised. According to Tilden friend and biographer John Bigelow, Peirson, who never married, had been long acquainted with the Tilden family, and a clause in Tilden's will suggests that Peirson had at one time loaned money to his brothers Moses and Henry.
