• Notes

  She was a sister of the Rev. Richard Pearsall (1698-1762), a noted Independent minister. Richard Pearsall's ODNB entry mentions Phebe and her marriage to Joseph Williams, and gives the name of Richard and Phebe's parents. It also says that Phebe (whose name the ODNB spells Phoebe) was a correspondent of Philip Doddridge and that her own diary was published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.
