Charles Dominic Pierce (Jones)1
M, b. circa 1889, d. 1977
| Birth* | circa 1889 | Charles Dominic Pierce (Jones) was born circa 1889 at New York, NY.1 |
| Death* | 1977 | He died in 1977 at Iowa.1 |
| Biography* | | Aaron Pierce reports that his great-grandfather would say little about his parents (he felt abandoned by his family and didn't want to be found by them), these are few of the things he did say at various times:
- That his that his parents were actors.
- That his parents's names were Frank Pierce and Lillian Jerome.
- But, on a social security application, he gave his father's name as Charles Pierce.
- And from other things he said and the other available evidence, he chose the name Pierce himself after he was in Iowa or on the way to Iowa. So we always had strong reason to believe his father's name was not Pierce.
Records from the New York Juvenile Asylum, where he was admitted after his mother became ill (she died a short time later), confirm that his mother was an actress and used the name Lillian Jerome. The NYJA records also indicate that Lillian Jerome had been separated from Charles's father for years. His father's name is not mentioned in the records.1 |

Plaintiffs: Nathaniel Wilkins (carpenter), Peter Wilkins & Jacob Wilkins
That in the year of our Lord Christ 1770, William Wilkins, father of your orators, departed this life intestate, leaving issue Peggy Waterfield, Elishe Wilkins and John Wilkins, of lawful age, by his first wife and William, Joseph, Benjamin and your orators Nathaniel, Peter & Jacob Wilkins by a second ?? (uncertain word), then infants and under the age of twenty-one. After the death of the said intestate, his widow Catherine & his son, the abovesaid John, took administration of his estate, in which, among other things were a number of slaves and personal chattels. The personal estate was administered on as the law requires, but there was not, nor is there yet, any legal partition made of the slaves, agreeable to the act of assembly in such case lately made & provided but on the contrary, while your orators were infants of very tender years, the intestate's children who were of lawful age, by illegal means procured partition of the slaves.
Joseph and Benjamin died underage and without issue. The slaves allotted to Benjamin by said illegal procedure were Jack, Adam & Henry. Joseph, who had two slaves so allotted to him, viz, Anda & Luke, and Anda has since had issue, two children, Sam & another whose name your orators do not at present recollect. The said William as heir at law to the said Joseph & Benjamin claimed and took possession of the slaves to them so illegally allotted, and also their increase and still holds the possession of them, contrary to another act of assembly in such cases lately made & provided. Your orators well hoped that when they should arrive to lawful age, capable of acting for themselves, which they now are, that the said William & others concerned or interested in the partition of said slaves would have, agreeable to law and equity consented to and made partition of said slaves.
But now, so it is, may it please your worships that the said William altogether refuses to consent to partition of said slaves.
There is another document which states that the daughter Elishe died without issue and the son John died leaving a son William who was under-age.
The answer of the brother, William Wilkins stated that the prior division had been in effect for ten years and when William's part of the slaves were delivered to him, he understood from all parties that the division was perfectly fair and equal and such of the children as had less valuable slaves assigned to them had the deficiency supplied in money to be paid by the others.
The outcome of this suit was not included within these documents.1 |
