Jeremiah L Pearce

Biography

Jeremiah Pearce was born in 1729 in Albany, Albany County, New York, United. His parents were Daniel B Pearce and Nancy Mary Pearce (Bussing).

Jeremiah married Deborah Pearce (Brouwer) on November 25, 1755 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth, New Jersey, United States.

Together they had the following children:

Elizabeth Elmer (Pearce); Daniel Pearce, Sr.; Manuel Job Pearce; John Pearce; Thomas Charclay Pearce; Solomon Pearce; James Pearce; Edward W. Pearce; Robert Daniel Pearce; Adam Pearce;

He died on September 24, 1793 in Shakertown, Kentucky, United States and was buried in South Union Cemetery, South Union, Logan County, Kentucky, USA.

Birth

In the book, "Pearce, Bartlett, Matthews, Smart, and Allied Families" (1983, Pg 7), Jeremiah's father Daniel was born in Albany, NY and married Deborah Bussing, also of New York, in 1724. Their first son, Joseph, was born in New York in 1725. Jeremiah was born four years later in 1729. While Jeremiah married Deborah Brouwer in her family home in Shrewsbury, New Jersey in 1755, and that he was living in New Jersey before moving to Virginia, there is nothing to suggest that Jeremiah's father Daniel had moved to New Jersey by 1729.
