(see sanderson's history of waltham (1936) pp. 119-121). for the reasons hereinafter indicated, it would appear that mr. sanderson is correct. I. one of the important factors (in determining the identity of the john pierce who married elizabeth smith) would seem to be the location and ownership of lot 10 in the third squadron of dividends of land made by the town of watertown. in his 'history of waltham', mr. sanderson says: 'john peirce, weaver, and his wife elizabeth, probably came to watertown about 1638, but their oldest son anthony was there as early as 1634. john's will probated in 1661 mentions by name only anthony of his several children. anthony and his father lived on the present belmont street very close to the waltham line (bond). in the inventory of john's estate amonth other lots was 24 acres of upland near west meadow and the same lot appears in anthony's inventory of 1678 (viz., 'twenty-five acres of upland called devident land'). this appears to have been the 10th lot in the third squadron of dividends granted as 25 acres to lawrence waters. anthony's land (acquired under his mother's will dated 'the 15th of the first month in the yeare 1666-7') was awarded to his sons daniel, joseph, and benjamin, and this lot came to daniel who also acquired the lot next west, no. 11, also of 25 acres and granted to emmanuel white. . . daniel peirce by his will of 1722 left his real estate to his son john but there is no descriptive inventory to help in locating his homestead . . . from the position of his name in the waltham tax list of 1738 (the year of separation from watertown and incorporation) john pierce (son of daniel) was living in trapelo road (in waltham) between joseph hastings and deacon william brown and this is the location of lots 10 and 11 above-mentioned.' at the middlesex registry of probate, they have a volume of miscellaneous records. on page 310 is the will of anthony which was not discovered until some time after administrators were appointed and so was never probated. it was signed september 8, 1671, and named anthony's wife as executrix. on december 18 1678, administration was granted to ann and sons john, daniel and benjamin. just before his death, anthony gave benjamin the house which had been his father's. by december 19, 1682, the son john had died, and his widow, ruth (bishop), petitioned the court, and richard way was recognized as her attorney. on april 9 1683, after the widow ann's death, the hears of anthony signed an agreement which gave (a) to the widow ruth (bishop) pierce the house formerly belonging to john and six acres of land, (b) to the two sisters the moveables, and (c) to the sons daniel, joseph, and benajmin the rest of anthony's land. (see middlesex county registry of deeds, vol. 8, p. 407.) from the divisional agreement recorded in the middlesex registry of deeds and the inventory of anthony's estate filed with the court, it would appear that the land divided between daniel, joseph, and benjamin included lot 10 (viz., 'twenty-five acres of upland called devident land'). no method of division was specified. as above-noted, mr. sanderson states in his history that lot 10 'came to daniel, who also acquired the lot next west, no. 11, also of 25 acres and (originally) granted to emmanuel white'. in a letter dated july 15 1956, addressed to the present writer, mr. sanderson says: 'our belief that daniel had lot 10 in the third squadron of dividends is apparently confirmed by two transfers in lot 9 in which the west bound is daniel peirce.' if mr. sanderson is right, the want of a descriptive inventory of the estates of daniel and his son john would seem unimportant. that john had obtained lots 10 and 11 would appear to be proved by the deed of january 20 1747, from his son daniel to his son's brother samuel of the half part of an undivided 50 acres bounded as follows: 'northerly with the squadron p. 72 line, westwardly with the land of deacon william brown, southwardly with the squadron line, eastwardly with the land of joseph hastings . ' (middlesex deeds, vol. 50 p. 30). this would appear to be the lots 10 and 11 above-mentioned. (see sanderson's 'history of waltham'.) II. attention is particularly called to the fact that john perice (the husband of elizabeth smith) did not name any of his six sons joseph. on the contrary, it should be stressed that this john pierce did name one of his children daniel. the naming of this child would appear to be 'no slight evidence of identity when we remember the tenacity of the old custom of perpetuating names'. (see THE REGISTER, vol. 5, p. 179; vol. 107 pp. 77-78, and vol. 86, p. 407, with reference to the names of children as evidence of the father's or mother's identity.) the present writer will be very thankful for the correction of any errors that may be noted. signed john b. pierce, dedham, mass." more on this later. suzanne shatto

I am new to at least responding to this list. If anyone out there has a possible connection to one of these names, I would like to know what you have on them. Edward, Peter or Joseph Pierce who were living in the Armstrong, Red Bank area of Pennsylvania in the 1820's. Who I am looking for is the parents of James Pierce, b. 1821 who married a Mary J. McNaughton, b. 22 Jun 1821, Clarion Co. PA. I have quite a bit on the McNaughton family, but not much on his. There may have been a John Pierce living in the area about the same time.

Does anyone have anything on a Robert Pierce and a Clarinda Pierce in the 1860 census living in Lyon Co, Kentucky? I don't have thier ages or anything, as there is not option to see the census image. I am looking for John S. Pierce's parents. John was born about 1865 in Lyon Co, Ky. When I looked up Pierce in Lyon Co, Robert and Clarinda were the only one's I found in 1860, I can't find any in 1870 so far. My John S. Pierce married Laura Collins in 1888. They ended up living in Marshall Co, Ky in 1910 and 1930, I cannot find them in 1920 census though. ~Meg~

Hello: I recently discovered that my James Peirce, b 1737 (married Hannah Way) is the son of Gainer Peirce b 1694/95 (married Sarah Walter, b 1700/01) and the grandson of George Peirce b abt 1659 (married Ann Gainer, b abt 1663) Does anyone on this list have any additional information regarding Gainer Peirce or his father George Peirce?
