Samuel Peirce (1712-1772) was the son of John Peirce and Elizabeth Smith of Watertown, their fourth child of seven. He married Abigail Stearns (1715-1798) in 1739 in Watertown, and they had nine children.   

Samuel and Abigail (Stearns) Peirce are my 6th great-grandparents.  I am descended from their daughter, Abigail Peirce (1750-1776), who married Jeremiah Knowlton (1745-1785) in 1771.
