Notizen bei Thomas PIERCE

'Sargent at Armes of America's First Constitutional Convention and First Legislative Assembly in 1610.'

“The sun had been up only a few hours on that fatal spring morning when hundreds of Powhatan warriors descended upon English colonists in Virginia, burning settlements and plantations along the James River in a sudden and fierce attack. So began the Powhatan Uprising of March 22, 1622, which claimed the lives of approximately 347 colonists...”. On the plantation of Thomas Pierce, the Powhatan attack was tremendously successful, the inhabitance were caught off guard. The Indians burned most of the outlying plantations, destroying the livestock and crops, such was the fate of the Pierce Plantation. "Thomas Peerce" and "his wife and childe" two other men and a French boy were officially reported as killed at this plantation. This report was made presuming the persons taken captive would be dispatched in some gruesome manor shortly. Alice and her daughter apparent witnesses to the death of Thomas and the prevailing carnage survived the attack. Alice and her daughter Elizabeth were two of the twenty women and children taken as captives "there were none but women in Captivitie . . . for the men they tooke they putt . . . to death" on that day. Thomas Pierce died 22 March 1622..
