  1. 1.  David C. Peirce was born 3 Oct 1799, MA; died 24 Feb 1867; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    David C. Pierce is age 57 in the 1850 Federal Census at New Bedford, living with his second (or third?) wife Mary (Maria) age 52, Stephen age 29 (a ship carpenter), David B. age 20 (a house carpenter), and Lydia A. age 18. I don't know if Stephen was a son born to Hope before their marriage, or born to David and an earlier wife. That is certainly possible.

    Four members of a Houghton family are also living in the household: John R. 25, Ann S. 33, Wm. H. 4, and Anna B. 2.

    David married Hope Remington 26 Aug 1824, New Bedford, Bristol Co., MA. Hope (daughter of Thomas REMINGTON and Alice "Elce" GRINNELL) was born 19 Mar 1802, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 21 Jul 1842, New Bedford, MA; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  Thomas R. Peirce Descendancy chart to this point (1.David1) was born 16 Sep 1827, New Bedford, MA; died 9 Dec 1894; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    His middle name was probably Remington. He may have married his stepsister or other relative of his stepmother, Maria Fuller. His family, including wife, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, are at New Bedford in the 1880 Federal Census.

    Thomas married Lucy B. Fuller 1 Jan 1851. Lucy was born 12 Feb 1832, MA; died 17 May 1903; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 6. Maria J. Peirce  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 30 Oct 1851, MA; died 3 Oct 1931; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA.

  2. 3.  David B. Peirce Descendancy chart to this point (1.David1) was born Abt 1830, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1850.

    Notes:

    David is age 20 in the 1850 Federal Census at New Bedford, and living with his family (which includes his stepmother). In the 1880 US Census, there is a David P. Pierce living in California, a miner, born 1830 MA, widowed. Could this be the same individual?


  3. 4.  Lydia A. Peirce Descendancy chart to this point (1.David1) was born Abt 4 Aug 1835, MA; died 10 Jan 1879, Leominster, MA; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    Lydia age is given as 18 in the 1850 Federal Census at New Bedford, where she is living with her family (which at that time includes her stepmother). However, if the age on her gravestone is correct, she would have been not quite 15 at the time of the census in 1850.

    She is the Lydia A. Boyle who is buried in Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, next to David & Hope Peirce. She died at age 43 y 5 m 6 d, and is buried with a 10-month-old "babe" named Hope Ann Davis. Is this her child?

    Lydia A. Boyle died at age 43 y 5 m 6 d of Paralysis.

    Lydia married James Boyle 1 Jan 1869, Worcester, MA. James was born Abt 1840. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In the 1920 Federal Census, Maria J. Borden is a widow aged 68, living at 19 Priscilla St., New Bedford, MA.

    She was probably named after Mary Jane Pierce, half-sister of her father. The first Mary Jane died in July of 1851 at age 5.

    Maria married Charles F. Borden 31 Oct 1871. Charles was born Abt 12 Jan 1850, MA; died 1 Apr 1919; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA. [Group Sheet]
