I descend from Silvestre Peres Bravo and Ana Perez Calzadilla.
One of their hija, Josefa, casada con Jacinto MORALES y ABALOS en Montevideo 25 Aug 1737.
Josefa MORALES ABALOS (nacida 1744) casada con Juan Antonio AGUADO en Maldonada, Maldonado 15 Aug 1764.
Maria Ines AGUADO MORALES casada con Fernando CALDERON c1795 Montevideo.
Manuela CALDERON y AGUADO casada con John DILLON (very influential...he loaned his flotilla of boats to Argentina in the war for indepence with Spain. And he started the first brewery in Argentina, and also had a saladero in Uruguay. His 2 sons became Commissioners, one for Health, and one for Immigration, in Argentina)
John DILLON died (muerto?) in 1826 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Manuela's 2nd marriage was to Thomas Gibson PEARSON 1 May 1828 San Telmo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
(Hijo, Fernando Antonio PEARSON also became a Commisioner for Argentina)
My ancestor, was hijo Pedro Isaac PEARSON nacida 1830 Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Pedro Isaac PEARSON nacido Wilhelmina WILKES 17 Jan 1856 Buenos Aires, Argentina.
They emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1858.
Then came Benjamin PEARSON, John George PEARSON, Ben PEARSON, Valda Jean PEARSON, then me.

Ben PEARSON was my father, but I changed my surname legally, because I have such a liking for my German great great great grandmother Sophia Carolina IHLENFELDT. So Veronica Rachel Pearson became Veronika Sophia IHLENFELDT!
