Enoch Pearson I was the fifth child born to Edward and Sarah Pearson.
He built the first wing of the old Paxton homestead in Buckingham, PA in 1728. He carved his initials "E.P." in a stone which is still visible. His residence was near Lahaska Station which was owned by J. Harper Atkinson in 1950. After Enoch died, his wife married Martin T. Wildman.
Enoch I is credited with discovering the process to use hard coal for lime burning, and later smelting iron with coal, a precursor to the Industrial Revolution in America.
Many of the stones from this time are either unreadable or broken. Also, the Cemetery Office has stated that there is a large area in the back of the cemetery where there are no markers at all. This may be where Enoch is buried.
NOTE: Quakers at times did not mark their graves as they thought it was a sign of vanity.
