Joseph Pease b 1678 Shafton Yorkshire

[Wilbur_Ringer]

Does anyone know who his parents were?

Edward Pease, his Gt Grandson b 1767 states in 'The diaries of Edward Pease, father of English Railways'

"It will be sufficient to state here that the Pease family
was descended from certain Peases of Essex. A member of this family
settled on his own estate at Sikehouse, near Fishlake, Yorkshire, in the
reign of Henry VIII., and a descendant of the Sikehouse Peases is found
residing on his own lands at Pease Hall, Shafton Green, in the West
Riding, at the end of the seventeenth century. His name was Joseph
Pease and he apparently belonged to the yeoman or small landowning
class. This Joseph Pease married in, 1706, Ann Couldwell, who was
heiress in her issue of her brothers William Couldwell, of Cudworth, and
Thomas Couldwell, of Darlington. Joseph and Ann s son, Edward,
went into business with his uncle, Thomas Couldwell, at Darlington,
and was quite settled there by 1744."

however I am unable to find sources for this claimed connection.
