Biography
- DELILAH MATILDA PIERCE
- DELILAH MATILDA PIERCE was born about 1810. She was the daughter of ELEAZER PIERCE and MARY SPOONER.
- At present, there is no identified record evidence giving the specifics of Delilah's death and burial. All that can be mentioned with confidence is that her death occurred "before" 4 July 1844. We can infer that conclusion as derived from the date her surviving husband, Jeremiah, married his second wife.

Peirce-649 and Pierce-346 appear to represent the same person because: My research only shows ONE daughter of Eleazar and Polly Pierce’s, named Delilah Matilda. My guess is that when Eleazar’s profile was merged, both Delilah’s were added.
