Biography

Very little is known about Martha Peirce. She married Jonathan Bridgham on July 12, 1728 in Boston, with Mr. Joseph Sewall officiating.

Her birth and parents are not known. Her husband was born in 1706, so she was probably born after 1700. And assuming that she was at least fifteen at the time of her marriage, she was likely born before 1713. So she was probably born between 1700 and 1713.

She died sometime after the birth of their only child in 1729.
