General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Pierce


This is a good old English name, dating from a remote period, and is widely distributed throughout the United States in its various form of spelling-Pierce, Pairce, Pearce-the original form of the name being Pers. There is every reason for believing that some of its bearers, if not all of them, derive their origin from the ancient Percy family of Northumberland, England, the Hotspurs of the North. Several genealogies have been written about the different American branches, but owing to the destruction of early records it is a matter of some difficulty to make exact connection in every case.
