SILAS PIERCE (Capt.), b. in Shirley, Mass., 1750; d. Nov. 22, 1809 ; m. Hannah Woods, dr. of Gen. Woods, of Pepperell. "He purchased, 1790, the farm of Asa Pierce (no relation), with the exception of the widow's third, and a part of the Hogg or Shepherd farm. He was an officer in the army of the Revolution during the war. The late Gov. Benjamin Pierce is said to have been his cousin, and to have been, for a time, his waiter in the army. Capt. P. was wounded in the left arm, in consideration of which, a pen- sion was granted to him. His arm was rendered stiff by the wound. He was a stout, thick-set man, with a Roman nose, and commanding personal presence. After the war, he moved to Peter- borough, went into trade at Hunt's Corner, soon failed by some bad management of a partner, and was left laden with debts. He and his wife now laid aside all show of gentility, to which they had- before made some claim ; moved into a log-house on the hill east of the house of the Hayes family; went to work, - he as a layer of stone-wall for fence, she as a weaver. They soon moved into better quarters, but still humble, near the house which he after- wards built, in which Moses Fairbanks now lives. They both worked very hard many years, paid off their old debts and pur- chases of real estate, and acquired the means, with the aid of a small property left to Mrs. P. by the will of her father, to pass the latter years of their lives in comparative ease and comfort. But he did not live long to enjoy his improved condition. They were both much respected. The widow Pierce m. James Brazer, Esq., of Groton, Mass., a wealthy merchant of that place."

At the call of Gen. Gates, he marched to Saratoga, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne and his army. He was at Rhode Island with Gen. Sullivan, and performed other tours of duty during the revolu- tionary struggle. At the close of the war, he purchased land in Temple, N. H., in the north part of the town, and re. to it about 1785. In the year 1793, he sold his estate in Temple, and pur- chased a farm in Dublin of Silas Brown, situated on the north halves of lots 2 and 3, range 1. Only a small portion of his farm had been cleared, and put under cultivation. He re. to Dublin, April 15, 1794. Ch. :

PIPER.
I. Solomon, b. in Temple, July 19, 1789, re. with his father to Dublin, and followed the pursuits of agriculture till the age of twenty-one. All his opportunities for obtaining an education beyond those enjoyed at his home were afforded by the short common schools of that day, and six weeks at New-Ipswich Aca- demy ; at the close of which term, he received a certificate from the preceptor, stating that he was "well qualified for teaching an English-grammar school," which he put in practice the following winter. In June, 1810, he went to Boston. On his arrival, he immediately engaged himself as a clerk to Mr. Benjamin Fessenden, a dealer in wood and other fuel on Sea Street. At the close of the war of 1812, he entered into copartnership with his employer. Subsequently, he purchased the stand, and, at the decease of Mr. Fessenden, succeeded to the whole business, which, with some addi- tions, he has conducted on the same spot, nearly forty-five years, to the present time, 1854. He has been a member of the Common Council of the city of Boston, representative to the General Court, and, for many years, has been President of the Freeman's Bank. As a token of approbation for the ability and fidelity with which he has managed the concerns of this bank, he has received a ser- vice of plate.
