Richard Pearce, {Fictional}

Disputed

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pearce-1013

This profile was previously connected as a parent to Richard Pearce. There are no scholarly sources to support the relationship. Pearce genealogies are very flawed and cannot be relied upon without primary sources to support the claims. For further discussion, see: Michael D Pierce, Captain Michael Pierce and the Fake Genealogy of Frederick Clifton Pierce (2017)[Link].

At this time no primary sources have been identified to support the existence of this Richard Pearce.

Research notes

Disproven or unproven "facts":

13 Jul 1641 - Date of death previously given on this profile, occurring in Watertown, was the date given by Cutter for Richard's supposed brother William, mariner, being killed by Spaniards at Providence Islands, Bermuda while transporting colonists from Massachusetts.
Pearce Hall - there does not seem to be a Pearce Hall in York.

From A history of Rehoboth, Massachusetts; its history for 275 years, 1643-1918, in which is incorporated the vital parts of the original history of the town by Tilton, George Henry < link >

Azrika and his family were the first of this lineage to come to America from Bristol, England. It was at this time the spelling of the name in this lineage was changed from Percy to Pearce and Peirce. They arrived on the ship "Lyons" which his brother William Pierce was the master. Not sure exactly when they arrived in America, but it must have been prior to 1639 based on his brother Williams known history. This was a period in history when the "Indian Wars" were just getting started as settlers started to claim their land. Slavery already had a foothold in the southern colonies, and it had been only 20 years since the "Pilgrims" settled in the new country.
