GEORGE PEIRCE. Abraliam Peirce (1), one of the "purchasers or old-comers" at Plymouth. was the emigrant ancestor of George Peirce, of Wor- cester. Abraham Peirce was born in England and was the first actual settler of that surname in Amer- ica. He was a taxpayer in Plymouth Colony as

early as 1623, and he shared in a division of the common cattle in 1627. In the same year he ex- changed two shares he owned in a red cow for a ewe lamb owned by Captain Miles Standish. In 1629 he sold some land abutting on Hobbs Hole to Thomas Clark for thirty pounds of tobacco. He was admitted a freeman in 1633, was a taxpayer in 1634, a house holder in 1637 and in 1639 and 1640 had more land granted him. He served as a soldier in 1643 under the famous Captain Miles Standish. In 1645 he was one of the original purchasers of ancient Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He married Rebecca , and settled at Duxbury. His daughter Alice was taken to Barnstable for baptism by his wife's sister, Goody Scudder, and baptized July 21, 1650.

His children were: Isaac, Jr .; Thomas, married, April 16, 1714, Naomi Booth, of Middleboro; Mary, married Saund- ers : Lydia, married (first), July 3, 1706, John Hey- ford, of Bridgewater; married (second), January 12, 1725.

They were married, contrary to the law of the colony, accord- ing to the Quaker form. Isaac Peirce was a mem- ber of the Society of Friends. He was persecuted to the extent that he was fined for not conforming to the law regulating marriage. He pleaded guilty. was fined and seems to have heen let alone after- ward, whereas many of the Quakers had their homes broken up by the religious fanatics then in control of affairs in the colonies. Many Baptists suffered the same way later. The curious ignorance shown by the genealogist of the Peirce family in reporting this court record requires this explanation here.

John Booth. the father of Mrs. Peirce, was at Scituate in 1656. His son Benjamin was a partner of Isaac Peirce, Jr., his brother-in-law, in the pur- chase of a tract of land at Middleboro and Taunton in 1700. Judith (Booth) Peirce died May 4. 1733.
