Hello listers! Ran across this little tidbit in researching STEARNS last night and thought I'd throw it out there in the hopes that it might help someone somewhere. Joshua STEARNS, b Jul 10, 1748, m Oct 8, 1772, Lois PIERCE, b Feb 2, 1754, dau Ephraim and Lydia (White) PIERCE of Waltham, MA; eleven children. It also appears in the same book, another page, spelled PEIRCE (of course!). Hope it helps someone. Cheryl Pierce Clarkin [email protected]
