The genealogy of one line of the Pearce Family beginning with Edward Pearce, born 1701 in Northern Ireland, a Scots-Irish immigrant to Pennsylvania in 1737.

100 years later another Edward Pearce, migrated from Pennsylvania to Maryland, and then to Clark County, Illinois where he became a farmer near the town of Marshall.

This research is an attempt to tie these Pearce families together, and ultimately unite all Pearce & Pierce families who descend from Edward and Frances (Brassington) Pearce of Chester County, PA.

The genealogical breadcrumbs these Pearces left behind are sparse at times, and many holes are left to fill, so your participation is most appreciated! This is a work in progress that will never be finished.
