Hi Megan:
This is what I know:
1.According to the Barnstable Mass Vita Records (as published in the Mayflower Descendant, vol. 2, pages 213-214) the children of Austin Bearse are listed, including James who was born "about the end of July 1660".
2. Fear Bearse/Bierce, daughter of Hezekiah, married twice according to the Meadows genealogy. Her first marriage was to John Payne. "They had a son named John Charles who married Sally Ney; they had a son named Charles who "married a Mexican wife"; they had a daughter Dora who is (1930) a housekeeper for John D. Rockefeller; also had a dau. Angelina who married Nelson Hunt. A History of Madison County, NY said he, John Charles, married a dau. of Benjamin Pierce of Hamilton, NY." Fear and John Payne also had a daughter named Electa who married Rev. Jacob Knapp. The above is also a quote from the Meadows genealogy. I have not verified this.Fear m. second Isaish Bierce and they had 9 children, again according to Meadows.
3. According to the Plympton Mass Vital Records Shubael had a son Hezekiah born 6 April 1720 and this has been accepted as the descent in the genealogies I have seen. But see also the posting on this Bierce forum from Deborah Hart Stock dated November 22, 2001 in which she questions this Hezekiah as being the one who is the father of William (her ancestor), Fear, Ruth, James, Martha, Hezekiah, Philo (my ancestor) Deborah, and Zenas. Deborah states that in a family Bible that belonged to William Bierce the birth date given for William's father, Hezekiah, is 25 May 1730 and not the 1720 date that is listed in the Shubael entry in the Plympton Mass records. At this point I know very little more than that and since I have not seen the Bible or the handwriting therein, I really don't have an answer to this dilemma. I guess we will just have to keep working on it!
