  Abraham Pierce of Plymouth and Duxbury and Mr. John Peirce of London is a deed of 1629, recorded on page 7 of the [Records of the Colony of New Plymouth vol. 12]... dated 28 Sept. 1629, Abraham Peirce sells to Thomas Clark... [acre of land described in very similar ways to 1623 granted to "Mr. [John] Pierce's servants."] ... As it was common practice for a merchant adventurer in England to employ a young relative as servant or agent in the New World, it would seem highly probably that Abraham Pierce of Plymouth was indeed a close relative of Mr. John Peirce of London

Pearce (or Pierce) is likely to be found in the

Phipps Street Burying Ground, Charlestown's oldest cemetery, as it contains many 17th-century burials and is known for its preservation of original 1600s gravestones. While specific individuals named Pearce cannot be confirmed without more detailed records, this is the most probable location to find them among other early Charlestown families and individuals like the Sprague family who settled the area in 1629. 

• Location: Phipps Street Burying Ground, Charlestown

Robert Marten, director of programs at Plimouth Plantation, a recreation of the Pilgrim's settlement, said that the black settler, named Abraham Pearce, apparently owned land, voted and had equal standing with other members of the community.

Some historians have thought for years that there was a black Pilgrim, but Mr. Marten said it was only recently that researchers were able to substantiate the claim.

By combing through the colony's records, researchers believe that Pearce settled in Plymouth in 1623, three years after the first settlers arrived on the Mayflower. Listed as a 'Blackamoor'

The only reference to Pearce's race is a colony record dated 1643, listing the names of men available to serve in the Plymouth militia. The list said: ''Abraham Pearce, blackamoor.''

Other records indicate that he came to Plymouth as an indentured servant aboard the Anne, a ship that sailed from England in 1623. Researchers believe that Pearce was born in the West Indies and was brought to Jamestown, Va., as a slave in 1619.

When Plymouth was incorporated in 1633, Pearce was listed as a freeholder and a voting member of the community. He died in 1673.
