Unfortunately, the New England Pierce families have all been smerged together as children of Evidence needed to support as son of Richard Pierce & Marguerite Pierce

It’s time to separate them out, starting with John Pierce of Watertown who married Elizabeth Pierce his parents unknown, but hers are, if anyone wants to enter more of her family in England.

This John Pierce was not the Patentee. That John Pierce was a merchant adventurer but never came to America.

You're too much, that was a bunch of work but it looks better. I will look more tomorrow.

Thank you,

“There is no evidence that Barbara, daughter of John Pierce & Elizabeth Trulle, was the wife of Michael Phillips or Edward Inman.”

Disconnected Barbara Inman as their child.

I have a John Pers/ Pierce m. Elizabeth Stoker. Who had Hester Esther Pierce - Morse and Daniel Pierce.

Elizabeth Stoker was disproved as wife - she’s been confirmed at Elizabeth Trulle. They did have Hester (Pierce) Morse who has gone wandering off from her parents, so I’ll fix that, thanks! I don’t see a Daniel Pierce in this family.

I’ll find references about why not Elizabeth Stoker for you also.

Thanks for the clean up, Erica Howton. John Pierce is my 11th grandfather and I had rather have him right than wrong. Again, thanks.

Just a note - it is that one New England line that I have and it is why I like cold pie for breakfast. My grandmother used to say she guessed she got it from them. :-)

LOL. No excuse needed for Pie, anytime, any place.

Elizabeth"Eliza" Pierce Had been stuck on John Pierce, not the patentee, as a double Pierce, but she wasn’t, she’s a Pierce wife of unknown origins, and has been liberated.

John Pierce, Jr. & most of his family sucked into the Geni void? I’ve recreated, perhaps the rest of the kids will show up. So far all I got is John Pierce, Ill & his wife Ann Pierce
