    After three months of marriage Martha returned to her mother's home, never returning to her marriage.
    Hampshire Gazette and Northampton Courier
    September 24, 1878
    Martha A. Town of Pelham, married Harrison D. Town, May 1, 1868, and on the first of August following she went back to her mother's. She "wasn't going to keep house any more for any one." That's the whole story, and furnishes ground for belief that the old saying should be changed from "marrying hastily and repenting leisurely", to marry hastily and repent ditto. He never could get her to go back and live with him after that, and the Judge thought it over awhile and sundered forever what God had joined together for three months. The following divorces were granted: Harrison D. from Martha A. Town; etc.

    [[The following census information was compiled and contributed by Joyce S.

    Source: Book
    Title: The Peirce Family of the Old Colony or The Lineal Descendants of Abraham Peirce. By Ebenezer W. Peirce of Freetown, Mass. Published 1870
    Pages 384 and 385
    "Abigail Peirce. Daughter of George Peirce and wife Sarah Peirce; m. John Hoar, of Middleboro, now Lakeville, and they removed to Pelham, Mass. John Hoar served in the patriot forces in Rhode Island in the war of the Revolution, and was in the company commanded by Capt. Henry Peirce. He was a son of Robert Hoar and wife Rachel Hoskins, grandson of Samuel Hoar and wife Rebecca Peirce. He received a provision in the last will of Major Peter Hoar, of Middleboro, who was his half brother.
    John Hoar and wife Abigail Peirce had:
    Calvin, married Betsey _________
    Abigail, married _______ Hamilton
    Rachel, married _______ Hamilton
    Judith,
    Harriet,
    Sarah,
    Evelyn Leonard,
    Philip, married Harriet Peirce (?)
    Hermon,
    Washington,
    Edmund,
    William,
    Eddie,
    For what is here given concerning the family of John Hoar, the writer is indebted to Miss Abiah Peirce [Abiah Peirce, born Jan. 27, 1792, dau. of Hermon Peirce and Rachel Hoar]."
    Note- not listed are Mercia, Adah, or Nelson. Her "Eddie" might be a nickname for one of these three not named.

    The census uses name HOAR until 1850 then uses HORR. John and Abigail (Peirce) Hoar's neighbor, John Cowan, uses HORR in his memorandum book, as early as 1837.
    ("Memorandum Book" by John(?) Cowan of Pelham Hollow, Massachusetts. He wrote of events of his life between the years 1837 and 1857. Mr. Cowan was father-in-law to John and Abigail (Peirce) Hoar's son Nelson)

    1800 census for Pelham has, image 3 of 6, with the H surnames, what looks like John Hoar with the name crossed out, no numbers. It is almost half way down the image. Maybe John refused to give information??? There are three other names crossed out on this page alone. Did not find any other Hoars. Pelham was the home of the historic 1783 Shay's Rebellion.
