This surname is more com-

FELLOWS monly spelled Fellowes in England, where the family has lived for many centuries. The branch of this family at Ramsey Abbey, county Hun- tingdon, and at Haverland Hall, Norfolk, has this coat-of-arms: Azure a fesse dancette ermine between three lions' heads erased or, murally crowned argent. Crest : A lion's head erased and crowned as in the arms, charged with a fesse dancette ermine. Motto-Patien- tia et peseverantia cum magnanimitate. Most of the family bear these arms. Another branch has: Azure a fess nebulee ermine be- tween three lions' heads erased or, out of a cloud a dexter hand holding a club all proper.

Besides its more proper meaning of com- panion, the word Fellow, from which this surname is derived, is used in some dialects to signify a young unmarried man or a servant engaged in husbandry. Chaucer uses the ex- pression, "a proper felawe," to denote a well- formed young man. The surname dates back to the Hundred Rolls in the twelfth century, spelled Le Felawe, Le Felawes and Fellawe.

His name ap- pears often in the early town records. He was a subscriber to the Major Denison fund in 1648; had a grant on Plum Island, Castle Neck and Hog Island in 1664.

(For preceding generations see Thomas Pierce I.) (III) Benjamin, youngest child

PEIRCE of Thomas (2) and Elizabeth (Cole) Peirce,* was born about 1662, in Woburn, and died September 25, 1739, in the same town. He was evidently a man of considerable property, as his widow was required to give bonds in the sum of fif- teen hundred pounds upon the administration of his estate. Her sureties were Samuel Rich- ardson and Thomas Belknap, husbandmen, of Woburn. He died without will, and the in- ventory of his estate was taken March 20 and presented four days later, amount of in- ventories three hundred twenty-five pounds, of which one hundred ninety-five pounds rep- resented land. The appraisement was made by Daniel Wyman, Thomas Belknap and James Proctor, and they declared the estate insolvent. On September 30, 1740, Thomas Peirce, one of the heirs, complained of im- proper administration of the estate, and in a hearing October 6 following the judge was of the opinion that "the inventory ought to be amended so as to include property not taken account of." Benjamin Peirce married, Octo- ber 10, 1688, Mary Reed, born October 15, 1670, died June 17, 1746. Their children were: Benjamin, Mary, Esther, Rebecca, De- borah, Thomas and Zanshaddi.

(IV) Thomas (3), second son of Benjamin and Mary (Reed) Peirce, was born Novem- ber 23, 1702, in Woburn, and died March IO, 1768, in Framingham, Massachusetts. He re- sided for a time in Leicester, whence he re- moved to Hopkinton, and in 1747 to Framing- ham, Massachusetts. He made his will Feb- ruary 22, 1768, and it was proven on April 5th following. In this he names his wife "Ledy" as executrix. He married (first) No- vember 5, 1722, Hannah Locke, born July II, 1701, died before 1743. She was admitted to the church in Hopkinton in 1730 by letter from the church in Leicester. He married (second) January 24, 1743, Lydia Gibbs. His: children were: Hannah, Benjamin, Thomas, Ebenezer, Hepzibah, Timothy, James, Phoebe, Elizabeth, Jonathan, Mary, Martha, John and Mehitable.

1725, probably in Leicester, and became a large land-owner in Weston, Massachusetts, where for seventeen years he served in one town office or another, and in 1781 made a loan to the town of one hundred thirty-five pounds. He served as a revolutionary soldier in Captain Samuel Sampson's company, par- ticipating in the march on the Lexington Alarm, April 19, 1775. He was subsequently in the Continental army, being present at the battles of Ticonderoga, White Plains and Crown Point. In 1774 he was chosen on the committee of correspondence, and in 1777 was a member of a committee of five to see that everyone abided by report to the general court, which he had helped to draw up, to regulate the price of certain articles. In 1781 he received thirty-three pounds one shilling eight pence for his military services in Rhode Island.

(VI) John, second son of Benjamin (2) and Mary (Lamson) Peirce, was born Sep- tember 18, 1758, in Weston, and died April 19, 1837, in Cleveland, Ohio, in his seventy- ninth year. He resided in Weston and New Salem, Massachusetts, and removed to Hud- son, Maine, in 1805. Eight years later he re- moved to Cleveland, where he died, as above noted. He was a merchant in New Salem, and appears to have adopted the spelling of his name now used by his descendants- Peirce. He married a Miss Leach, who died in Hudson, Maine. His children were: John, David, Sarah, Ira and Martin.

(VII) David, eldest son of John and

(Leach) Pierce, was born June 7, 1793, prob- ably in New Salem, Massachusetts, and died in 1871. The records of New Salem, covering more than one hundred years following its settlement, were destroyed by fire, and it is impossible to discover anything from this source. Family tradition, however, says that David was born in New Salem. He was about twelve years of age when he went with his father to Maine, and remained in that state, settling in Hudson. He was a miller and lumberman, an occupation which found ample scope in the new district where he had settled. He married Sarah Plummer, and they were the parents of Sarah J., Daniel, Charlotte, Varna, John A., Alexander Charles, Ellen, Eliza and Clara.

He was educated in the public schools, at the East Corinth Academy of Maine, and the University of Maine, from which he graduated in 1890. He studied law in the office of ex-Governor Davis and A. L. Simpson, and was admitted to the bar August 18, 1893. He began to practice in the city of Bangor, where he has had his office since. He is a very successful lawyer. In politics he is an active and influential Dem- ocrat. He was a member of the common council one year, of the board of aldermen three years, and was mayor two years, 1905 and 1906. He is a member of Saint Andrew's Lodge, No. 83, F. and A. M .; of Mount Moriah Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; of Bangor Council, Royal and Select Masters; and of St. John's Commandery, Knights Tem- plar, of Bangor; also of Kora Temple, Mys- tic Shrine, of Lewiston.

CUMMINGS (II) Deacon Isaac (2), second son of Isaac (I) Cummings, was born in 1633, and was an influential and promi- nent man in Topsfield, his name appear- ing often on the records; in the list of six who took the oath of allegiance in 1678 he is styled sergeant.
