The "Genealogy of the Descendants of Solomon Peirce of Lex- ington" is the outcome of a desire to trace the lineage and per- petuate the memory of our ancestor who took part in the Revolu- tionary War. The first inspiration to undertake this work was received from a conversation held in 1900 with Mrs. Amanda Peirce Morton, a grand-daughter of Solomon Peirce, whose per- sonal reminiscences started the interest which finally resulted in the erection of a monument over his unmarked grave. From the first reunion of the family, on the occasion of the dedication of this monument, the interest increased, and this record, undertaken without any thought of publication, is the result. As time went on, new members of the family were discovered. Three grand-daughters have been traced who could remember interesting incidents connected with the life of Solomon Peirce, one of whom is still with us, aged ninety-two, and many relics are still preserved by his descendants. In response to the request of relatives I have finally under- taken to publish the record. It has been a pleasant but also a long task, partly owing to delay in answering letters of inquiry or sending in family records, and in many instances it has taken much inquiry and corre- spondence to locate family branches. There have been many interested helpers, among whom it gives me great pleasure to mention the names of those who have aided materially in this work. Miss Emeline Dillaway Fish has given valuable in- formation of her own branch (Amity Peirce), which must have been lost except for her diligent researches, besides aiding in many other ways. Mr. Herbert Francis Dam, of San Francisco (of the sixth gen- VI PREFACE eration from Solomon Peirce), contributed a large part of the data for the Appendix, and also the charts. Prof. Arthur Winslow Peirce (of the fifth generation) looked up the military record of Solomon Peirce, from the Massachu- setts Archives, on the occasion of erecting and dedicating a monument to his memory. Thanks are due to all who have in any way contributed to make the record a success. Many dates have been taken from town records and graveyards, but, with all care and time bestowed, many omissions and mistakes will occur, which, it is hoped, will be pardoned. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Pkov. xvii. 6. PEIECE COAT- OF -ARMS Three Ravens rising sable. Fesse-humette. Motto Dixit et Fecit (He said and he did). Crest Dove with olive branch in beak. THE PEIRCE COAT-OF-ARMS. [Part of an address by Prof. Arthur W. Peirce at 1911 Peirce Reunion.] The Peirce coat-of-arms is used as a family insignia, but it does not imply that we are descended from the nobility of Eng- land. A coat-of-arms was originally a coat of linen worn over the armor, on which were embroidered or painted certain emblems or signs to indicate the name and position of the man inside, as his face and head were entirely covered by the helmet. Thus his followers might know their leader in battle. The device was often emblazoned on the shield also, so that now the shield is an essen- tial part of the insignia. In a coat-of-arms there are several parts, some of them neces- sary, others omitted at the option of the owner. Originally, all used the shield, and above it the helmet. As cloth was hung from the helmet to protect the armor from rain and rust, in the her- aldic device this has become a scroll work, called a "mantling." Above this was a wreath, which has become conventionalized into a mere straight bar over the helmet, on which is borne the crest. The shield is of the first importance in the scheme. It is a colored background, termed the "field," on which is placed some device called the "charges." On the Peirce shield the charges are three ravens. The crest was added for ornament, being usually an animal or a head. The motto is not essential, and its position is a matter of taste. In the Peirce coat-of-arms the ravens are "sable," or black, and the parallel lines on the bar across the shield indicate "gules," or red. Thus it is described technically as "arms argent, three ravens rising sable," which means a silver background and three black ravens with wings spread as if for rising. The "fesse" is the name given to the bar on the shield, and "humette" means vm THE PEIRCE COAT-OF-ARMS the bar is cut oflf, and does not extend to the sides of the shield. The Peirce coat-of-arms has a "fesse humette," colored red. The crest is a dove with green olive branch in its beak. The bar on which the dove stands is developed from the ancient wreath which surrounded the helmet. Many coats-of-arms are printed without the helmet. The Peirce motto is in Latin, "Dixit et Fecit," mean- ing, "He said and he did." The following explanations will enable the reader to under- stand the genealogical tables: Abbreviations. b. stands for born; m. for married; unm. for un- married; d. for died. The parents' names are given in full. The children's Christian names alone are given and printed in smaller type, represented by Roman numerals on the left. When a child has married and has children, figures are placed at the left representing a paragraph with corresponding figures in the next generation. In a few cases the small letters, a, b, c, have been used with the previous figures. Paragraphs have figures placed at the head, on the left, numbering, from 1 to 448. SOLOMON PEIRCE BRANCH. FIRST GENERATION. 1. Solomon Peirce was born in Lexington, Mass., June 15, 1742, the sixth child of Jonas and Abigail (Comee) Peirce. He was a descendant in the sixth generation of "John Pers, of Nowch" (Norwich), England, who settled in Watertown 1637. Solomon Peirce married, Dec. 15, 1763, Amity Fessenden, born in Lexington, June 15, 1743. The year following his marriage he paid his father, Jonas Peirce, seventy pounds for fourteen acres of land. In 1765 he bought of B. Smith four acres adjoining. In 1783 he bought of E. Munroe et al. seven acres adjoining. In 1783 he bought of Jonas Peirce forty acres adjoining the fourteen acres, being the same land bought by Jonas Peirce of Joseph White in 1731. In 1783 he bought of Ezekiel Hall thirty acres adjoining the above described fourteen, making a total of ninety -five acres. The deeds record him a cordwainer (or shoemaker), and he was also a farmer. This appears to have been his home and the place where his eleven children were born. The walls of the cellar may still be seen, bordered by a row of trees which he probably planted. From the Lexington Town Records we find that Solomon Peirce was surveyor of highways in 1772. He was enrolled in the Lexington company of minute-men, commanded by his neighbor Captain Parker, and started forth with him on that memorable morning of April 19, 1775. He was wounded in the battle of Lexington, but was able to rejoin his company, and was on duty at the battle of Bunker Hill, June 17 and 18, 1775. He served five days, March 4-8, 1776, at Dorches- 9 ;..,'. ' DESCENDANTS OF SOLOMON PEIRCE ter Heights, as a member of John Bridge's Lexington company. In the campaign against Burgoyne, 1777, he was a sergeant in a Concord company of Col. Samuel Ballard's regiment, under Capt. George Minott, serving from August 16 to November 30. From Massachusetts Archives it is stated that he travelled two hundred and twenty miles in eleven days, and was paid nine pounds, eleven shillings, and eight pence for service. June 7, 1780, he was commissioned first lieutenant of Capt. William Munroe's company, under command of Col. Francis Faulkner. After the war closed, he was made captain, July 25, 1784, of this company, then made a part of the State Militia under the com- mand of Col. Samuel Lamson, of Weston. He resigned his com- mission and retired from the service, April 23, 1785. The war was followed by financial reverses, and in November, 1784, Capt. Solomon Peirce sold his farm of ninety -five acres, with mansion house and barn, to Joseph Underwood, of Lexing- ton, in consideration of the sum of three hundred eighty pounds. This estate remained in the Underwood family until about 1865, and was then conveyed to Mrs. Bryant. Solomon Peirce appears to have remained in Lexington until 1788, when his name and that of his wife. Amity Peirce, are en- rolled as members of the second precinct church in Cambridge (now Arlington), June 15, 1788. At this time his residence was changed from Lexington to West Cambridge (now Arlington Heights), in the so-called Amos Russell house, which is still stand- ing, improved and owned by Walter K. Hutchinson. At this time it was owned by his eldest son, Jonas Peirce, who later sold it to Amos Russell, husband of his sister Betsey Peirce. In March, 1803, Jonas Peirce bought an adjoining farm, in- cluding a mansion house with a smaller house and barn, and he brought his father and mother to occupy the smaller house in their declining years. Amity Peirce died Feb. 18, 1811, aged sixty-eight. After her death Solomon Peirce lived with his son Jonas, and died Oct. 16, 1821, aged seventy-nine. Both were buried in the old ceme- ter3% Arlington, and in 1903 a substantial monument was erected by contributions from two hundred and twenty descendants of our honored ancestors.

March 10, 1878, aged ninety-two. William Peirce lived in Medford, where his two eldest children were born. In 1813 he bought a farm in Maiden, consisting of about one hundred acres, for which he paid less than five thousand dollars. Afterward he added to this farm land ex- tending from Maiden River to the top of Belmont Hill, situated in the southerly part of Maiden, now Everett. The house on this farm was located on Main Street, and is still standing. Five children were born in this house. In 1840 he built a large house, of semi-colonial style of architecture, in which he lived thirty- eight years. William Peirce was called a very modest man. When, at eighty -five years of age, his picture was thrown on a screen at a public gathering, he turned to his wife, and asked who it was. She replied, "You have not looked in the glass, or you would know." SECOND GENERATION 9^ To the end of his long life he was bright, quick, and humorous. When he was ninety years old, he had a birthday party of his children and grandchildren. He was presented with an easy- chair which had been made to order, as he was a short man. When seated in this chair, he sat upright, and his son-in-law said, "Sit back, father, and lay your head back." He replied, "I can hold my head up as well as I ever could." At the time of his last sickness, having need of the services of a barber, he looked at him, and said, "This is the first time I ever was shaved." Children: i. Eliza A., b. March 1, 1809; m.

George Peirce was successfully engaged in market gardening and fruit growing, first in Charlestown, and later on land now situated between the Squire estate and Linwood Street, Arlington. On this farm he made his home, and was the first farmer in the vicinity to raise vegetables under glass. He also was the first to cultivate tomatoes for the market from seed procured from France by his friend President Walker, of Harvard College, and the first to raise dandelions under glass. His greatest success was in growing apples, and he was the first to introduce Williams apples in the Boston market. He lived to realize twelve hun- dred dollars annually from forty trees which he set out. The following was taken from the Bunker Hill Aurora: "Capt. Peirce of West Cambridge sold 24 barrels of Williams apples from four trees for over $100." He sent a barrel of Baldwin apples to England, which sold there for twelve and one-half cents apiece, at a time when they were selling in Boston for from four to six dollars a barrel. In 1820 George Peirce was chosen captain of a company of State Militia and duly commissioned by Governor Eustis. Although he had no sons, he lived to have three grandsons serve in the Civil War.

He d. in Boston, Dec. 21, 1888. Both are buried at Forest Hills Cemetery. Oliver Ditson began business as a music dealer in Boston at the age of twenty -eight. He occupied a building on Washington Street, afterward used as the Herald Building. The bulk of the music business at that time was handled in New York, and con- sisted chiefly of songs made popular on the concert stage. Music was published at that time in single sheets, without a cover, printed on both back and front, and sold one page for five cents, two for ten cents, three for fifteen, and four for twenty cents. Later on these same songs were reprinted with title covers, price twenty-five to forty cents. One of the early songs brought out by Oliver Ditson was "Lily Dale," by H. S. Thompson. It proved very popular until the sales exceeded one hundred thou- sand copies. Music was introduced in the Boston schools about 1842. The demand for octavo music commenced in the seventies, and has been an important feature in the music trade. The World's Peace Jubilee, a great musical festival, was held in THIRD GENERATION 25 Boston in 1869. Patrick Gilmore, the great bandmaster, was its leader. A notable feature was the bringing out of many great oratorios and other choruses. Much interest was shown in the rendering of the "Anvil Chorus" accompanied by military bands and real anvils. Oliver Ditson published in octavo form all the different songs and music used for that occasion. When Oliver Ditson first started in business, he employed one clerk and a boy to open and sweep out the shop, make the fires, and run errands. The boy's wages were $1.50 per week the first year, $2 the second year, and $3 the third year, and the hours of this store were from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The boy gradually worked into a position of responsibility, "got out orders, and had the care of the books." At the age of twenty-one he was given an interest in the business, and at the age of twenty-seven John C. Haynes, who went to work as boy for Oliver Ditson, was made a regular partner of the firm, which then became Oliver Ditson & Co. John C. Haynes, in writing of the kind heart and generosity of his employer, relates the following: "I had been accustomed, like most boys, to enjoy playing after school. A few weeks after I went to work at the store Mr. Loring Lothrop asked me, 'How do you like your new position?' 'I like Mr. Ditson and like the business, but I would like to have shorter hours for work and more time for play.' 'I will see to that, John,' answered Mr. Loring. Some days later Mr. Ditson said to me, ' We like you, and hope you won't leave us,' and he put a $5 gold piece in my hand. That settled it. I felt as if I was a part of the music business of Oliver Ditson. One day I wanted to get off and go fishing. I trembled as I asked Mr. Ditson if I could go, and told him I would come to open and close the shop. He responded with a smile, 'John, go by all means.' He put another $5 gold piece in my hand, sending me off as proud and happy as if I owned the establishment." The Oliver Ditson Company organized as a corporation in 1889 with John C. Haynes as president and Charles H. Ditson (eldest son of Oliver Ditson) as treasurer, with a large store in Boston and a branch store in New York City in charge of Charles H. Ditson. Ten years later, in 1899, Oliver Ditson died, but the music business is carried on by his son under the old name. It was said 26 DESCENDANTS OF SOLOMON PEIRCE that few men were more devoted to their life-work than Oliver Ditson. The following story has been handed down. When Mr. Ditson was a young man, he attended a church supper and was asked to say grace. After speaking for some time, he concluded by saying, "Yours truly, Oliver Ditson." He was a modest letter- writer, noted for the brevity of his letters, and "Yours truly, Oliver Ditson," had become almost a household word. On the piano, in the music -rack, as well as in the hearts and affections of the music-lovers of America, "Yours truly, Oliver Ditson," has left an imprint that endures in the glow and warmth of the American hearthstone.
