Hi Tom, I have an ISAAC PIERCE in my line. However, I have no idea where he settled in the United States. I don't know if he was still in England during the time period you are questioning. I have a copy of the death certificate of his daughter, Eliza PIERCE Nicholson, and the spelling of Isaac is ISAC. There is a child's name not known. This line has been a 'dead end' for me for years, and it really bugs me I can't find anything on this family. So, the search continues. I hope the below data helps! Here is ALL the data I have on him. Isaac PIERCE b. England m. Jane b. England Children: Anne E. b. 1838 ? b. 1840 Mary b. ? Eliza b. 25 July 1841 in England d. 22 Aug. 1916 m. 1861 James Nicholson Shari [email protected] From: "Tom Poore" <[email protected]> Subject: [PIERCE-L] Isaac Pierce father of Thomas V. Does anyone have an ISAAC PIERCE in their line, He was in IN. before 1839 from NC I think! TOM!

Found that my great Uncle Frank W. Pierce died sometime in 1906 in Seattle. But more important I found his wife, she is referred to as Mrs. Frank Pierce in the newspaper article residing in Herkimer, N.Y. and attended my Grandfathers furnial in 1913. Is there anyone up in the Herkimer area that could provide some assistance in tracing her down to see if I could get a line on my grandfathers mother and father. I believe there names to be William Pierce who married Christina Truax. They lived in the Herkimer, Springfield Center, Cooperstown area The William Pierces had four children: George Hughes Pierce my grandfather; b- 1867; m- 8/12/88; d-10/23/13 Springfield Center, N.Y. Frank W. Pierce my great uncle, b-abt. 1857; m-??; d-2/22/06, Seattle, WA. William Pierce, Jr. died as youngster Christina Pierce died as a youngster I'm hoping someone can provide me with a suggestion or information?

Does anyone have an ISAAC PIERCE in their line, He was in IN. before 1839 from NC I think! TOM!

Was someone from this list looking for a John Wesley born Jan. 19, 1895 and died May 31, 1965. He was married to Iva Lorain Stover born March 18, 1901 and died July 4, 1943. She was the daughter of Hiram Stover and Anna Burdette. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvputnam/putcem1.txt">http://www.rootsweb.com/~ wvputnam/putcem1.txt</A> I have found a John Welsey Pierce buried with his wife and listed in the McCallister Cemetery located on US 60 between Culloden and Hurriance, just east of the C&O railroad bridge that separates Cabell and Putnam Counties. You can see this listing at the above site. You have to scroll down to the McCallister Cemetery and it is almost the last cemetery listed. Hope this helps someone. Connie Schumaker [email protected]

Hellow Listers & Cousins! Recently wrote to Wellfleet, MA for HAMBLEN info and they were kind enough to send me xerox copies of a page (551) which includes many other Cape Cod-ers so I thought I'd share, in the hopes that I could help someone else. I don't believe Wellfleet has published their vitals and I know not all listers can get there themselves so... I apologize to the PIERCE list for also posting the Wellfleet births there as most of you have, I'm sure, realized there were no PIERCEs on there. There is a PEIRCE marriage below though. Some of these are difficult to read, but I'll do my best! Hatsel NICKERSON of Eastham and Jemima RICH of Wellfleet were married March 5th 1799 by Rev Lutte(?) Damon Joshua PEIRCE and Rachel HATCH both of Wellfleet were married Jan 9th 1800 Robert Remp HIGGINS and Eunice HOLBROOK both of Wellfleet were married Feb 16th 1800 Peter ELDREDGE and Ruth HAMBLEN both of Wellfleet were married Mar 27th 1800 Ebenezer FREEMAN and Hannah SMITH (?) both of Wellfleet were married April 20th 1800 Capt Moses YOUNG of Barnstable and Mrs Mary HARDING of Wellfleet were married Aug 31st 1800 Ezekiel TREAT of Truro and Ruth WATTS (?) of Wellfleet were married Nov 27th 1800 Perez Chipman HATCH and Mary WARD both of Wellfleet were married Dec 11th 1800 Ephraim ATWOOD, Jun of Wellfleet and Rebecca DOANE of Eastham were married Dec 21st 1800 James ATWOOD and Chloe SMITH both of Wellfleet were married Jan 1st 1801 Joseph HARDING and Hannah RING (?) both of Wellfleet were married Jan 25th 1801 Samuel GIBBS, Jun and Delilah SAMSON were married Feb 18th 1801 Seth HARDING and Lydia NEWCOMB both of Wellfleet were married Feb 26th 1801 Hope someone finds a connection!

I recently wrote to town of Wellfleet, MA for vital records and was sent xerox copies of pages 82 (births) & 551 (marriages) which I thought I would share with all of you as I understand Wellfleet records are not published. These 2 pages helped me immensely with my HAMBLEN line so I thought I'd share. Maybe it will help someone else as well. I will send the marriages as a separate post. Here are the births. pg 82 The Children of Christopher and Hannah Atwood Hannah born Sept 10th 1802 Rachel Hopkins born Oct 8th 1804 Jonathan Baker born Oct 4th 1806 Thankful born Nov 29th 1810 Christopher born May 18th 1813 Freeman born Nov 9th 1816 Elisabeth born Feb 6th 1818 Ephraim Wiley born 1821 The Children of Joseph Harding 3rd & Hannah his wife Betseey Doane Sept 6th 1803 Hannah Jun 18th 1805 Nabby Apr 3d 1808 Margery Doane Apr 10th 1811 Rebecca Jan 9th 1814 died Jan 23 1814 Solomon May 20th 1815 Joseph May 20th 1818 Samuel Baker Sept 24th 1820 The Children of Thomas Holbrook Jr. and Thankful his wife Lucy was born Oct 24th 1794 Anthony Sept 16th 1796 Eunice Nov 4th 1798 Thankful April 24th 1801 Temperance May 18th 1803 Henry Atkins Nov 16th 1805 Polly Jenkins Aug 30th 1810 Nancy Nov 28th 1812 Samuel Waterman, Town Clerk The Children of Peter and Ruth Eldridge (note: this is Peter Daggett Eldredge & Ruth Hamblen) Mary Brown born May 23d 1801 Mercy Brown July 30th 1803 Joshua Hamblen June 30th 1805 Benjamin Hamblen Sept 18th 1807 Samuel Waterman, Town Clerk Hope this helps someone!

Hi, Here are some marriage bonds I noticed while doing some Pierce research: John Pierce + Patience Hume 27 May 1793 (says marriage confirmed 4 June 1793) Amos Pierce + Anne Furr (father: William Furr) 10 March 1810 These are from Fauquier Co., VA. I'd be interested in knowing more about these two men, their parents, siblings and children. I'm trying to find a possible connection to my ancestor, HECTOR PEARCE. Can anyone help? Susan B.
