(VIII) Edgar Nathan, third son and sixth child of Nathan and Hannah G. (Adams) Carver, was born in Livermore, Maine, Janu- ary 9, 1857. He was educated in the town schools of Dixfield, and in Wilton Academy, then engaged in farming, a calling which he followed for about three years, when he learned the art of printing in the town of Phil- lips. In 1883 he established himself in the printing business in Canton, and started a weekly paper called the Canton Telephone, editing it for a period of ten years, when he moved his entire plant to the new and rapidly growing town of Rumford Falls, changing the name of the paper to The Rumford Falls Times. With a few of the leading business men a stock company was organized, and Mr. Carver retained as business manager and editor of the paper, which position he held for about ten years. He retired from business ac- tivity for about two years, when he was ap- pointed auditor of state printing by Governor Cobb, in December, 1905, beginning his official duties January 1, 1906, and taking up his resi- dence in Augusta a few months later.

Mr. Carver is a member of Anasagunticook Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and Whitney Lodge, Free and Accepted Ma- sons. He has served continuously for twenty- five years as deacon of the Baptist churches in

(VIII) Woodburn, third son of

CARVER Isaac and Hannah (Nichols) Carver, was born December 8, 1803, in Prospect (now Searsport), and died in that town in 1889. He married Mary, daughter of Phineas and Nancy (Gilmore) Pendleton, in 1828.

(IX) Nathan Pendleton, son of Woodburn and Mary (Pendleton) Carver, was born Feb- ruary 8, 1829, in that part of Prospect which is now Searsport, and died May 5, 1904, in Boston, Massachusetts. He married, August 7, 1851, Frances A., daughter of Joseph and Frances (Coombs) Pendleton. She was born, January 18, 1831, in that part of Prospect now Searsport.

(X) Eugene Pendleton, son of Nathan P. and Frances A. (Pendleton) Carver, was born September 5, 1860, in Searsport, and was edu- cated in the Boston public schools, and Boston University, and pursued the legal course of the same institution, from which he received the degree of LL. B. in 1882. He was admit- ted to the bar in 1882, at Boston, and before the U. S. Supreme Court in 1888, and has achieved notable success as a lawyer. He is at present the head of the law firm of Carver, Wardner & Goodwin, which maintains offices in Boston and New York. Mr. Carver has in his possession the family Bible of Isaac Car- ver, which notes the latter's birth at Marshfield in 1775, and has visited Leyden, and made much research in regard to the ancestry of the family. He is vice-president of the Interna- tional Law Association, and director in various corporations. He married, August 11, 1886, Clara Thurston Porter, daughter of Robert and Lois A. (Shute) Porter. She was born August 15, 1863, in Searsport. Children : Frances Alice, born October 7, 1889; Eugene Pendleton, November 9, 1891; Lois Mabel, December 13, 1894; Clara Porter, June 19, 1898, died at the age of two years; Nathan, January 23, 1900; Ransom Fuller, April 15, 1902. The first three were born in Arlington,

and the others in Brookline, where Mr. Carver now resides. The eldest is a student at Vassar College, and the second at Harvard.

PIERCE The generally accepted theory of the origin of this name is that it is derived from "pierre," a French word meaning stone. Possibly Percy Forest was their home, thus giving the name to the first of the family. Another theory is that it is of Teutonic origin, from the word "pirsen," meaning to hunt or a hunting place. The variations of the name are almost end- less, as-Pierce, Peirce, Pearce, Peerce, Pearce, Peirse, Pierse, Pieres, Peires, Pirse, and Pearse; these being the most common forms in England and this country. What- ever the orthography, the usual pronunciation in New England is Perce or Purse. Not one of the English noble houses is so distinguished as the Percies throughout the whole range of English history. They are remarkably alike for their long, unbroken line, their high achievements, their generosity and chivalrous bearing and their general culture of arts and letters. The arms of the family are: Three ravens, rising sable, a fesse-humette, with crest: A dove with an olive branch in its beak. The family motto is: "Dixit et Fecit," which, translated, is: "He said and he did." The representative of the Percy family in Eng- land is the Duke of Northumberland, and his banner exhibits an assemblage of nine hundred armorial designs, among the number being those of Henry the Seventh, the ancient royal houses of France and Castile and the ducal houses of Normandy. There is a line which tells us "Brave Galfred who to Normandy with Rollo came, assumed the Percy name." The name is interwoven with the early minstrelsy of England and Scotland, and though often connected with tragic incidents has always been honorable. Two brothers, William and Serlo de Percy, came into England with Wil- liam the Conqueror, who endowed the elder, his namesake, with vast possessions in Hamp- shire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. The fam- ily does not descend in a direct line from this William, for, in the reign of Henry the Sec- ond, the male line became extinct and the in- heritance passed to a sister, Agnes de Perci, from whom all the subsequent Percies are de- scended. She accepted as her husband, Josce- line, a son of Geoffrey, duke of Louvain, upon the express condition that he and his posterity should bear the name of Percy, assume the arms of her family and relinquish their own. This Josceline was a brother of Adelais or

Alice, of Louvain, the second queen of Henry the First, and by an arrangement with his sis- ter confirmed by Henry the Second, became possessed of the honor of Petworth, was cas- tellan of Arundel and held other important posts in the south of England. His son Rich- ard was one of the twenty-five barons ap- pointed to enforce the observance of Magna Charta. The ancient arms of Brabant are still borne by the family, being the first of the eight hundred and ninety-two quarterings of the Percy shield. The standard bearer to Richard the Third on Bosworth Field was a Peter Peirs, and they are large land owners in Kent, Devon, Norfolk, Somerset and Suffolk.

John Pierce was probably the first of the name to come to America, for the first patent of the Plymouth Colony was granted in 1621 to John, a large ship owner from London. Another early ancestor of the Pierces of Amer- ica was Abraham Pierce, who with his wife Rebecca settled in Plymouth Colony and was a taxpayer in 1623. He was a soldier under Standish, and on January 20, 1627, exchanged with Captain Miles Standish two shares in a red cow for two ewe lambs. It was from Suf- folk that a Pilgrim Father, Daniel Peirce, came in the "Elizabeth" in 1634. He lived in Wa- tertown, Massachusetts, and later in Ports- mouth, New Hampshire. Colonel Daniel, his son, was prominent in civil, ecclesiastical and military affairs of Newbury, Massachusetts. It was Richard Pierce, probably a son of Richard the settler, who published the first newspaper in the United States, September 25, 1699.

(I) The original American ancestor of this family was Thomas Pierce, who was born in England in 1583-84, and emigrated to Massa- chusetts Bay in 1633-34, accompanied by his wife, Elizabeth, and several children, settling in Charlestown. He was admitted a freeman May 6, 1635. His wife became a member of the church at Charlestown, January 10, 1634- 35, and he united with that body February 21, 1634-35. In an act of the great and general court passed September 27, 1642, he was named as one of, twenty-one commissioners appointed "to see that saltpetre heaps were made by all the farmers in the colony." He died in Charlestown, October 7, 1666. His eight children were: John, Samuel, Thomas, Robert, Mary, Elizabeth, Persis and Abigail.

(II) Thomas (2), son of Thomas (I) and Elizabeth Pierce, was born in England in 1608. He was admitted to the church in Charlestown in 1634. He became a resident of Charlestown village, now Woburn, as early as 1643; was assessed there in 1645; served

as a selectman in 1660-61-62-65-66; in 1671 was one of four appointed to confer with the selectmen to build a new church, the same to cost about $2,226; was a member of the com- mittee having charge of the division of the common lands, and for this service he received thirty-seven acres of make meadow or swamp land. March 28, 1667, he was chosen one of the "Rights proprietors" by the town, and in the following year was appointed by the gen- eral court a member of a committee formulated for the same purpose. He is frequently re- ferred to in the early records of Woburn as Sergeant Pierce. His death occurred No- vember 6, 1683. On May 6, 1635, he married Elizabeth Cole, daughter of Ryse and Arrold Cole; she died March 5, 1688; Ryse Cole was the ninth on the first list of thirteen inhabi- tants of Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1629. Children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Cole) Pierce were: Abigail (died young), John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Joseph (died young), Jo- seph, Stephen, Samuel (died young), Samuel, William, James, Abigail and Benjamin.

(III) Thomas (3), second son and third child of Sergeant Thomas (2) and Elizabeth (Cole) Pierce, was born in Woburn, Massa- chusetts, June 21, 1645, died December 8, 1717. He was in the Narragansett expedition dur- ing King Philip's war, and participated in the battle known as the Swamp Fight, December 19, 1675, under Captain Prentiss and Lieu- tenant Oaks. His will was dated November 26, 1717, and named Timothy Pierce and David Roberts, his son-in-law, executors. He married (first) about 1669, Eliza , and had children: I. Thomas, born February 12, 1670, married, February 27, 1692, Mary Wy- man. 2. Timothy, see forward. 3. Elizabeth, born January 5, 1676, died February 15, 1699. He married (second) March 24, 1680, Rachel Bacon, born June 4, 1652. They resided in Woburn and had children: I. Rachel, born July 24, 1681, married Jesse Osmer. 2. Abi- gail, born April 14, 1685, married David Rob- erts. 3. Isaac, born December 23, 1686, died December 28, 1686. 4. Ebenezer, born De- cember 10, 1687, died May 25, 1688. 5. Phebe, born February 13, 1689, died July 12, 1707.

(IV) Timothy, second son and child of Thomas (3) and Eliza Pierce, born in Wo- burn, January 25, 1673, died in Plainfield, Con- necticut, May 25, 1748. He went to Plainfield with his brother, Thomas Pierce, about 1690, and was one of the most prominent and re- spected citizens of Windham county. He was ensign of Plainfield's train band in 1708, and when the town attained to the dignity of a

full train band in 1711, Timothy Pierce was made lieutenant. He was tavern keeper in 1716, one of the committee on the new meet- ing house in 1718, and this being ready for occupancy in September, 1720, he was one of those chosen to attend to the seating. Those over fifty years of age were seated according to the number of their years, and others ac- cording to their estates. So arduous were the duties of this committee that they were al- lowed one pound sterling for their care and services. Timothy Pierce succeeded Thomas Williams in 1723 as captain of the train band, and in 1739, when the military companies in the towns of Plainfield, Canterbury, Pomfret, Killingly and Voluntown were constituted the Eleventh Connecticut Regiment, he was ap- pointed colonel. He was representative from 1717 to 1726; justice of the peace in 1718; justice of the quorum for New London county ; judge of the probate court in the Windham district in 1725. The first court of common pleas within and for the county of Windham was held at Windham Green, June 26, 1726, and Timothy Pierce, previously judge of pro- bate, was appointed by the general assembly judge of the county court. He was appointed to inspect the Canterbury bridge in 1722, and was one of those to consider the building of a state house in 1729. He was town clerk from 1725 to 1748, when his son Ezekiel, who was a captain in the French and Indian wars, be- came clerk and continued for twenty-five years. He was also a member of the governor's coun- cil. One of his commissions as judge of pro- bate, dated 1734, is in the possession of Charles S. Pierce, and another one is owned by George W. Pierce, of Albany. He executed the mani- fold duties of all his offices with such diligence and care as to be above criticism, was a father to the town, a promoter of the common wel- fare, and of an extraordinarily good, pious and christian character. The following lines are of undoubted interest: "In Memory of the Hon. Colonel Timothy Pierce, Esq., who was an assistant in His Majesty's Colony of Connecticut for twenty years, and was Chief Judge of the County of Windham for nine- teen years, and Judge of the Probate for this district of Windham twenty-two years, all of which honorable trust he discharged with great fidelity and justice and to the great sat- isfaction of all; who departed this life May the 25th, 1748, in the 74th year of his age."

(V) Benjamin, eldest child of Colonel Tim- othy and Hannah (Bradhurst) Pierce, born June 7, 1710, died in Brooklyn, Connecticut, February 7, 1782. He was appointed ensign of the Fifth Company, Eleventh Regiment of Connecticut, in 1750, and appointed captain in 1757. Pierce Genealogy speaks of Benjamin Pierce as a captain in the revolutionary war; his record is in the archives at Hartford, Con- necticut. He enlisted for a short term in the First Regiment, July 12, 1776, becoming a member of Captain Smith's company, Brad- ley's battalion, which was stationed during the greater part of the summer and early fall at Bergen Heights and Paulus Hook. In Octo- ber it moved up the river to the vicinity of Fort Lee, then under the command of Gen- eral Greene, and in the following spring the greater part of the regiment went across the river to assist in the defence of Fort Wash- ington, and upon the capitulation of the fort were made prisoners with the entire garrison. Captain Pierce received his discharge Novem- ber 16, 1776, and re-enlisted for a short term in 1779, and again July 1, 1780, receiving his final discharge December 9, 1780. He served as deputy for Canterbury, 1758-59. He mar- ried (first) Hannah Smith, who died Septem- ber 25, 1736.

(VII) Nehemiah (2), fourth son and fifth child of Nehemiah (I) and Lydia (Sheppard) Pierce, born May 10, 1771, died at Monmouth, Maine, May 6, 1850. He removed to Bath, Maine, from Coventry, Connecticut, in 1807, and to Monmouth the following year, and was known as one of the most industrious and pro- gressive farmers of the state. He was the

pioneer in the field of systematic dairying in Maine, and is reputed to have been the most extensive manufacturer of cheese in the east- ern section of New England. He was a strong factor in educational work, and as sec- retary of the board of trustees of Monmouth Academy, when it was classed with the first schools of New England, became widely known in educational circles. As president of the Monmouth Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany, a corporation known as the largest of the kind in the state, he was brought into public notice as a man possessed of more than ordi- nary executive ability, and as a result of his success in that field, received appointments to many offices of trust and responsibility from the chief executive of the state. Among these was that of state commissioner of public roads, an office for which he was excellently adapted, having had considerable experience as a road builder, notably in the construction of the mil- itary road from Bangor to Houlton, and the turnpike from Bath to Brunswick, a piece of work he had superintended in 1807. Mr. Pierce was an exemplary Christian, and a man with distinct and firm views upon the temper- ance question. He built the brick house, still standing in 1825, and March 4, the day John Quincy Adams was inaugurated, Mr. Pierce opened it to the public with a grand celebra- tion. With raw "West India" for fireworks and the old brass cannon for the speaker of the day, the occasion wanted nothing but an ex- change of snowdrifts for a high temperature, to pass muster as the Fourth of July. It is but justice to state that the liquid firewater which enlivened this occasion was not fur- nished by Mr. Pierce. He has the honor of being the first citizen of Monmouth to be an aggressive temperance advocate, his being the first house raised in that town without the aid of liquor. When the first broadside was raised the men paused for the customary treat, and it came in the form of coffee, steaming hot. They looked at each other in amazement and then the leading spirits ordered a general strike. Mr. Pierce expostulated, and the men were undecided. On the one hand, if they left the frame, they would incur the displeas- ure of one whom they all liked, whom they profoundly respected, and to whose good will they were not indifferent; on the other, if they proceeded with the work, they would es- tablish a precedent which might become locally universal. Better nature and the advice of a few level-headed ones triumphed, and they raised the other broadside. Another instal- ment of hot coffee brought on another strike,

followed by more arbitration and temperance oratory, which at last prevailed, and the roof went up without further remonstrance. This house was later held open as a public tavern for several years. Nehemiah Pierce was one of a committee of three in 1810 to take meas- ures to prevent the spread of smallpox. This was "A committee for superintending the inoculation for the 'cow-pox,'" which appar- ently was then raging. The task of this committee was a difficult one at the time, as vaccination was then an innovation and was looked upon with a feeling of intense distrust.

Mr. Pierce married (first) April 14, 1794, Clarissa, born February 15, 1772, died July 27, 1842, daughter of Dr. Jesse Williams, of Mansfield, Connecticut, born 1737, grand- daughter of Captain William Williams, born 1690, married a daughter of Joseph and De- liverance (Jackson) Wilson, great-grand- daughter of Lieutenant Isaac Jr., born 1661, and Elizabeth (Hyde) Williams, great-great- granddaughter of Captain Isaac, born 1638, and Martha (Parke) Williams, and great- great-great-granddaughter of Sir Robert, born 1608, and Elizabeth (Stalham) Williams. The Williams family was one of the most cele- brated in the section in which they resided. Nehemiah and Clarissa (Williams) Pierce had children : I. Oliver W., born April 2, 1795, married (first) June 20, 1826, Rebecca Carl- ton; married (second) November 10, 1855, Mrs. Delia Morris; died January 19, 1871. 2. Bela, see forward. 3.
