Relationship4th cousin 1 time removed of John Bolton
Father*Elisha Pierce1 b. 24 Nov 1699, d. 15 Jul 1770
Mother*Sarah Edson1 b. 12 Feb 1704/5, d. 3 Mar 1732
Birth*3 March 1732Sarah Pierce was born by 3 March 1732, the date her mother died, in Scituate1,2 
Baptism8 April 1733 and was baptized on 8 April 1733 in the First Parish Church, Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3 
Marriage Intention30 August 1751An intention of marriage for Sarah Pierce and Samuel Holbrook Jr. was recorded on 30 August 1751 in Scituate.4 
Marriage*27 November 1751She married Samuel Holbrook Jr., son of Samuel Holbrook and Jane Clap, on 27 November 1751 in Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,4 
(Possible Mother) Relationship NoteElijah and Jane Holbrook may have been twins. They were baptized on the same day, and their birth date(s) are not known. Their parentage is also questionable. The "Seven Pierce Families" stated that Samuel and Sarah (Pierce) Holbrook had five children. The Scituate vital records indicated they had eight, if Elijah and Jane were theirs. Scituate provided only the father's name of Samuel for Jane and Elijah, so whether they are the children of Samuel and Sarah who would have been in their mid forties in 1777, or of their son Samuel or even some other Samuel, is uncertain.5,1

Birth*1808Eunice Pitman was born about 1808, probably in Warren County, Kentucky.2 
Marriage*14 December 1826She married John Belcher, son of John T. Belcher Sr. and Martha Johnston, on 14 December 1826 in Orange County, Indiana.1 
(Wife) Census US 18301830Eunice was likely enumerated on the 1830 census in the household of her husband, John Belcher Jr., in Orange County, Indiana. Their household consisted of five people: 1 male between the ages of 20 thru 29 years, who would have been John; two females under the age of 5 years; one female between the ages of 20 thru 29 years, whom we believe was John's wife, Eunice; and one female between the ages of 30 thru 39 years.4 
Land Patent*1 August 1839Eunice's husband, John Belcher, was issued a Land Patent on 1 August 1839 according to an Act of Congress dated 24 April 1820 which made further provision for the initial sale of public lands by the Federal Government to individuals. After confirming that he had paid in full, John received title to land in Orange County, Indiana, described as:

The South East quarter of the North West quarter of Section Twenty-Four in Township One, South, of Range Two, West, in the District of Lands subject to sale at Vincennes, Indiana, and containing forty acres.

John's father, John Belcher, brother, Berry Belcher, and cousin, Arthur Belcher, also received patents for nearby land. His father purchased 80 acres on 5 August 1837; his brother Berry purchased 40 acres on 1 September 1838; and his cousin Arthur purchased 40 acres on 1 August 1839, the same date as John.5,6,7,8 
Death*before 20 March 1849 Eunice, her husband, and also their children, had likely all died before 20 March 1849, the date her father prepared his will and did not name or refer to any of them.9
