Thomas Pierce, wife Alice, and Daughter Elizabeth sailed for Virginia in August, 1618 on the magazine ship William and Thomas.
She had only one child with Thomas Pierce and only one with Thomas Bennett.
She was engaged to John Filmer, who died and left all his property to her. She probably married Anthony Barham afterward.
Thomas Bennet was her fourth husband.
Maybe Anstie Thompson Spicer was Richard's mother?
In October, 1624, Elizabeth Pierce, daughter of his wife Alice, chose her "father-in-law" (stepfather) Thomas Bennett, as her guardian.
On that same date, she testified before the Governor’s Council in an inquest into the death of an indentured servant named Elizabeth Abbott. She told of finding this woman, who was the servant of her neighbor, after she had been horribly beaten. After nursing her wounds she and Thomas returned the woman to the neighbor as the law required. Her testimony was very courageous because the neighbor, John Proctor, was a powerful member of the Governor’s Council. Other servants described how the woman had received hundreds of lashes from a whip with fish hooks attached to tear human flesh.
Another witness in this trial was Anthony Barham
