1 SAMUEL PIERCE, date of birth unknown, m. Elizabeth Thompson, Mon- hegan, 1767. This is said to have been the first marriage on that island of which any record exists. She was the dau. of Joseph and Elizabeth (An- drews) Thompson, who first settled at Monhegan, but became the founders of the Thompson family in Southport. He settled on what has since been known as the Maddocks estate, building a home and rearing his fam. there. Late in life he sold to his son-in-law, Palgrave Maddocks, and moved to Bel- fast, where he died, but the date is unknown. Elizabeth, his wife, is buried in the old cemetery at W. Southport, and from her gravestone we find she died Nov. 4, 1834, a. 84. Children:

16 SILVESTER PIERCE m. Elizabeth - ; dates of births, deaths and mar- riage and family name of wife are wanting. Some doubt has been cast on this man being brother to Samuel, Joseph and David, but the oldest mem- bers of the family now in Southport, for the most part, think that he was. His family is much less represented in the town at present in descent than the others. Children:

PINKHAM.
1 BENJAMIN and JUDITH PINKHAM came to Townsend in 1759 and settled where the late Eben Clisby lived at No. B. They were from Dover, N. H., but it is claimed by some of the descendants that they came from Merryco- neag (Harpswell) to Townsend, and by the Dover family that they went from Dover to Merryconeag instead of Townsend. It is likely that both may be correct. Benjamin was one of seven brothers and several sisters, all born in Dover, N. H. One of the brothers, Ebenezer, settled in Merryconeag and is ancestor of the family there. Benjamin may have settled for a short time where his brother was and then come on to Townsend. Another brother, Solomon, came to Townsend at the time, but it is not thought that he remained here as there is no record evidence of such a family. It is thought that Benjamin's family consisted of five sons and two daus. The fam. name of Judith Pinkham is not known. The ancestry of Benjamin Pinkham follows:
I, Richard Pinkham,1 who set. in Dover, N. H., about 1642.
II, Richard, Jr.,2 who lived in Dover, N. H.
III, John8 and Rose (Otis) Pinkham, who lived and died in Dover, N. H .; had seven sons and a number of daughters. Among this family were Ebenezer, who set. in Merryconeag; Benjamin and Solomon, who came to Townsend in 1759.
Benjamin d. Mar. 2, 1792, a. 75; Judith d. Oct. 23, 1797, a. 76. Children:

and was much connected with town affairs, as may be noted in our earlier chapters. His estate inventoried $5,260.55. By his will he gave a farm of 47 acres, where Benjamin then lived, to him. This was just south of the B. M. Giles house, east side of road, on top of the hill. The house was burned many years ago.
