He was a member of the Amwell Presbyterian church, and frequently a delegate to the presbytery. He located on a plantation of several hundred acres above the Wickheckeoke creek, and about a mile southwest of what is now Rosemont. The old homestead commanded a view of the Delaware river and of the Pennsylvania shore, and was reached from the public road by a drive of one-fourth of a mile, on each side of which were cherry and other fruit trees planted in regular order, till the mansion-house was reached, thence continuing for one-eight of a mile to the Delaware river. On the plantation is the family burying-ground, where several generations of his descendants lie buried.1

b. circa 1730
FatherWilliam Pierson2 b. 1 Apr 1706
MotherElizabeth Howell2
Birth*Amy Polly Pierson was born circa 1730, daughter of William Pierson and Elizabeth Howell, at Rosemont, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.2 
Marriage*Amy Polly Pierson married Joseph Reading, son of John Reading and Maritje Ryerson, on 26 June 1753 at Hunterdon County, New Jersey.3
(Heir) WillIn Joseph Reading's will dated 10 November 1806 at Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Amy Polly Reading was named as an heir.4 
Reference*Reference: The relationship between William Pierson and Amy Pierson has not been verified with primary data. However, some secondary sources and circumstantial and onomastic evidence suggest this scenario may be correct.

Amy (PIERSON) and Joseph READING named their oldest son William and the name William did not exist in the READING family prior to this. Also, they named one of their sons Pierson.

In William Pierson [Jr.]'s will, Joseph READING is one of the witnesses, Thomas READING is one of the executors, and George READING is one of the men who made the inventory. I believe they are brothers, the sons of Gov. John READING. Also, in his will, William [Jr.]'s surname is spelled PEIRSON, and, he says his mother's name is Elizabeth PEIRSON, his brother's name is Lemuel PEIRSON, his wife's name is Ann, he mentions only one child Ely and says Ann is Ely's mother, and he and his brother Lemuel are blacksmiths.2
