I'm Sue, but not the one you mentioned. My line ended up with the Burce spelling. My g-grandfather, Charles E. BURCE was from Industry, Franklin, ME. His father was Silas Burce, b. 25 Jan 1806, Starks, Somerset, ME. His father was Holmes BEARCE, b. 9 June 1774, Pembroke, MA. His father was Ebenezer BEARSE, b. and m. in MA, but died in Bristol, , ME. He must've been the one from my line that went to ME, sometime after Holmes was born. Don't know if any of this will connect for you, but if it does let me know. Gramma Sue > > > >I am hoping to fill in some LARGE gaps in my information on the Bearce > >family in Maine.
