Suggested edit: Thomas Peirce, the founder of the Peirce family in Massachusetts, came with his wife from England in the year 1634, and settled at Charlestown, Massachusetts. His son, of the same name, settled at Woburn, in Massachusetts, where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Rice Cole; their son Isaac was joined in marriage to Grace, daughter of Lewis Tucker, by Cotton Mather, in 1708. The son of this union also named Isaac, born at Boston in 1722, married Mary Hardy, daughter of Captain Joseph Hardy, of Salem. This Isaac Peirce and his wife had four sons, all of whom participated in the revolutionary war for the independence of America; all having gained distinction for bravery and patriotism. Joseph Peirce , the eldest of the four sons of the last Isaac Peirce alluded to, was the father of Joseph Hardy Peirce, who was born at Boston, March 8, 1773. He held many important offices in Massachusetts, was secretary of the board of war of that State in 1812 to 1814, clerk of the municipal court of Boston from 1817 to 1829, and held a commission from the State of Massachusetts to Washington upon national affairs. He married Frances Temple Cordis, daughter of Joseph Cordis, of Charlestown, Mass. Both for many years held a prominent position in the highest social circles of Boston, for which their eminent refinement and culture so well fitted them. Seven sons and six daughters were born to them, all of whom lived to maturity, there being still (1880) one son and three daughters living. The wife of Joseph Hardy Peirce died at Boston, April 8, 1815, and in 1819 Mr. Peirce married for his second wife Abby Robinson, of Newport, Rhode Island. There was no issue of this marriage. On December 31, 1831, Mr . Peirce and his wife Abby embarked on board the schooner Alabama, at New York, for Mobile; the vessel foundered at sea, and all on board were lost. ~ "Biography of Henry Augustus Peirce" A. L.
