  This from "The Ohio Statesman" is not my ancestor but must be someone's: Description: Obituary Michael PEARCE. Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone. Date: June 12 1838 Newspaper published in: Columbus, OH Page/Column: 3/4 Died, at his residence in Trenton, Butler County, Ohio, on Monday the 4th day of June inst. at 15 minutes before 3 o'clock, p.m. after a severe illness of nine days, Deacon MICHAEL PEARCE, in the 89th year of his age. He was born at Scotch Plains, Essex County, New Jersey, in August, 1749, and lived there many years, and married Phebe SQUIER, of the same place, by whom he had eleven children, ten of whom lived to be men and women, from which he has now living thirty-four Grand children, and fifteen Great Grand children. He has served as a Deacon of the Regular Baptist Church, more than forty years, and died as he lived, full and strong in the faith of the Gospel of Christ, and through grace was enabled to say in his dying hour, "Death has lost his sting, and the grave its victory." He was a firm friend to the liberties of his country, and bore arms to repel the tyranny of Britain, and his Democratic Republican principles were in perfect accordance with the old Jefferson school. He was eighteen years a merchant of Morris County, N. J., and with the Pioneers of the West, removed with his family to Cincinnati, in the summer of 1792, entered land in Butler Co., and removed on it in 1804, where he remained, until removed on it by death, to a better country--a City that hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God.
