I noticed that there is a profile for a Mary Van Damm-1 Pearsall managed by the New Netherlands Settlers WikiTree. Her profile has her born in Queens, New Netherlands, and married to a Nicholas Pearsall-64. The profile for Mary Van Damm-1 might be the same person as Mary Van Damm-11.
Maybe there should be a merge with Mary Van Damm-11.
Researching my cousin Piersol’s family, the tree goes back to a George Pearsall-136. Before my changes, the original profile for George Pearsall gave only one spouse, Ellen ?, married c1663 in Chester Pa.
A source indicates that George sold his Long Island property and moved to Chester Pa.
I created the profile for Mary Van Damm-11 based on Family Search. she was born in England and was married to a George Pearsall. According to Family Search, there are some children of George Pearsall and Mary Van Damm. Their children are given birth dates between 1644 and 1650, in Long Island.
The only FS records I found for Nicholas Pearsall (died in 1689 in Flushing, Queens) does not give a spouse. https://www.familysearch.org/home/nli-discovery?givenName=nicholas&surname=pearsal&birthPlace=england&deathPlace=new+york&deathDate=1701
Some years ago I read that The New Netherland Project had contracted a person to translate the original 17th century Dutch records. At this time, the colony recorded births, deaths, marriages, land transfers etc.
These translated records may be on line and if so they are probably in an image format. Since I’m blind and rely on a screen reader, they would not be accessible to me.
Perhaps there are sources that could clarify Mary Van Damm’s birth, marriage, death etc? Should there be a merge?

So I am simply going to detach. True parents are unknown.
Classification: Query Surnames: Pearsall, Parcel, Emery, Thorne, Van Dam First, neither Nicholas Pearsall, the alleged "Mary Van Damn," nor any other white people were born in New York before 1624. The European presence in the area prior to that year was merely exploratory. On the good days, a few furs were traded. On the bad days, our side took some arrows and died on the beach. A good website on the earliest history of the New Netherland colony may be found at:http://users.skynet.be/newyorkfoundation/US/the_birth_of_new....
Accordingly, the conclusion is inescapable that Nicholas Pearsall was born somewhere OTHER than in New York; presumably England or the (old) Net
