Recently, while reading Rev. War Record, for Job Pierce, it was discovered, that Job(Pearce)Pierce was married to Mary Dring, also known as "Polly"(Dring)Pierce.
Also, according to the records, the couple had ONLY one child, Richard Pierce, who married the widow of Perry Lawton, Mrs. Hope (Luther) Lawton.
According to the records, when Mary's husband, Job Pierce, died, there was a need, by the Pension Board, for clarification about there marriage.
The records confirmed, Elder Charles Thompson, of the Upper Baptist Church of Swansea, was not in the habit of recording marriages with the city clerk.
Therefore, no marriage record seem to exist. Many of the townsfolk who either knew Job & Mary or attended the wedding were deceased. The ones still living were called to testify in her behalf so to enable her to continue to receive benefits. Character references were given as well. Mary's recollection was that the marriage took place in October 14, 1786.
I have been able to find only one Mary Dring who appears to match the age and palce of birth of the Mary Dring who married Job Pierce in Oct 14, 1786 in Swansea, Bristol Co., Massachusetts.
She was the daughter of Richard and Priscilla (Monroe) Dring of Bristol Co., RI.
