Horatio Pearson and his wife Ruth (Mattice)Pearson. Ruth died February 25, 1870 at home near Weston, leaving three small children, Henry age 6, William age 4 and Jane age 2 and was laid to rest in a Wesleyan Methodist burying ground in Weston. Ruth's Father, John Mattice died September 10, 1870 in Etobicoke and since Ruth predeceased him, her inheritance, the farm at the S 1/2 Lot 2, Concession 10, Innisfil, became the inheritance of her children. On January 2, 1872 Horatio Pearson remarried, taking as his second wife, Sarah Tiffin. Some time later he moved his family to the S 1/2 Lot 2, Concession 10, Innisfil (the farm that was the inheritance of his three children by Ruth Mattice), where he is listed as resident in the 1881 Belden Historical Atlas.
