Richard Pearce, of Providence - Alternate Names/Details

My 9th great uncle. I don't think I knew that I had a Pierce / Pearce nth great grandfather before!

I don't recognize these names as Biblical BTW. Definitely not Anteress. Azrika at least sounds vaguely Semitic.

Azrika Pierce

The heads of this Huguenot family, Gershom and Meribe Lascelle, had another daughter whose name, as near as we can get at the original form, was Anteres, which would be pronounced An-te-rees, or An-te-race, with the accent on the last syllable. The name was handed down in the Pierce family for several generations, under the forms of Antrace, Antires, Anterace, or Ansutrass, and particularly as Antress and Anstress. This daughter with the odd name married a Pierce, whose baptismal name is unknown to us. We do know that he belonged to the same branch whose blood was in the Wardwell line into which Meribe (Maribah,) the sister of Anteres, married.

Anteres Pierce had quite a family. Almost certainly she had an Ebenezer, Thomas, Michael and 'Azrikam', and probably an Edward and a Stephen.

Gershom (Gershon) is quite the Hebrew name on the other hand. I would love to know more about this family.

I just stumbled back across this one. I'm still not quite sure how to resolve it. Erica Howton, do you have any suggestions for getting the top and bottom fields to match? We have different fathers, the name discrepancies...not sure how to tackle it.
