Subject: PEARCE, JAMES; b. 1748; md DUNGAN; d. TN
I had occasion to order and now have received Pension Record, #5529, for James Pearce. James was born 24 Mar 1748 but his place of birth is not specifically mentioned.
>From the affidavit of GibSon: "Affiant further declares that he has always understood from the said Capt. James Pearce and his wife, Margaret (whose maiden name was Margaret Dungan) that they were married in the County of Frederick, State of Maryland, prior to the war of the revolution: and, from circumstances and the ages of their children he believes they were married in the year Seventeen hundred and seventy one - that the said James and Margaret were both residents of Berkley County, Virginia, United States at the time of the marriage, but owing to the laws of that state prohibiting the issuance of marriage licenses to minors and the said Margaret being under age, they crossed the Potomac river and were married in Frederick County, State of Maryland".
Frederick County, Virginia, United States, Deed Book Series, Vol. 4 as abstracted by Amelia C. Gilreath: Bk 12, p. 686 - 24 Mar 1769 reflects that a James Pearce, Thos. SHEPHERD and Wm. SHEPHERD witnessed a deed between Wolford and Vandevear of a portion of property originally granted to Thomas SHEPHERD.
Bk 12, p. 689 reflects that Thos. Swearingen, G. Neilly, George Myers and ISAAC PEAIRS, witnessed a deed 5 Apr 1769.
Finding no other Pearces or like names, I checked for Dungan. Book 9, p. 293 - 7 Aug 1764 George Dungan, Jeremiah Dungan and Elisha Dungan witnessed a lease between Swearingen, attorney in fact, etc. (For those not familiar with Dungan, George is Margaret's grandfather, Jeremiah is Margaret's father, Elisha is her uncle).
Book 9, pg. 491 - 21 Jul 1764 Thomas SHEPHERD sold several lots in the Town of Mechlenburgh in Frederick County to Jeremiah Dungan. Margaret would be about 9 years of age. I believe this is now in the area of present-day Shepherdtown, Jefferson County, West Virginia, USAA.
From Some Notes On Berkeley Springs, , West Virginia, United States by Katherine M Hunter and Bernard E Hunter, I find that listed as Original Purchasers of Lots, Town of Bath, 1777-1798 were Andrew Pearce and Daniel Pearce.
I interested in locating clues to any of the above mentioned Pearces.
