I show that he married three times, first to a Miss PARNELL with whom he had four children between 1631 and 1637. His second marriage was to MARY BARNETT who died July 12, 1647, in Boston, MA, and with whom he had two or three children. His third marriage was to REBECCA WHEELER who was the widow of JONATHAN WHEELER. JOHN married REBECCA June or August, 6, 1654, in Boston. With REBECCA, I show JOHN having either one or two children. The child with whom I have the most interest is EXERCISE PIERCE who married NEHEMIAH JEWETT October 19, 1668, in Lynn, MA, but any information on this PIERCE line would be welcomed. If anyone on the list has any information that they are willing to share, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Rick in Thailand ==== PIERCE Mailing List ==== Forget how to Unsubscribe?
