About Alice Baker

In early Massachusetts court documents, Hannah Scudder became the custodian of her sister's daughter, Alice Pierce, either because Rebecca was ill or deceased. The girl was baptised in Barnstable 21 July 1650, and married by 1670, John Baker


Origins

From The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Volumes I-III. (document attached)

Abraham Peirce was the first member of the family who settled in Plymouth Colony and from him are descended most of the name. He married by 1638 Rebecca _____. She does not appear to have survived him since her son made no acknowledgement of or provision for her dower. She was the sister of "Goody (possibly Hannah) Scudder" (probably wife of John Scudder of Barnstable) who took Rebecca's daughter Alice to be baptized 21 Jul 1650.

"That her sister took her youngest child implies that either Rebecca was ill, unable to nurse, or deceased following the birth."

He died by 3 Jun 1673 when "Abraham Peirse, Junior" transferred 22 acres of land to his brother Isacke, part of the land of "his father Abraham Perise deceased, dying intestate."

Abraham Peirse Junior also gave 20s apiece to "his three sisters, viz: Rebeckah Wills, Mary Baker, and Allice Baker..."
