In Middleboro, December 5, 1764, Martha Canedy married David Peirce, (in- formation from the town clerk of Middleboro.) The author has been unable to find any date of their settle- ment in New Salem.

David Peirce served in the Revolutionary War and he died when he was returning home. His companions carried him for four days on a bier before he expired."
