Pg 295: m'ed to Aaron PEIRCE [spelling per VRofR], both of "Rehoboth", 14 Nov 1793, where she's recorded as "Laphe Bliss".
She's recorded in the Bliss Geno (Boston, MA 1881) pg 107 at Anc.com (as epg 106 of 506), as "Laphe", b. 11 Jul 1766; her marriage is to Aaron PIERCE [spelling as recorded] 14 Nov 1793.
However, a marriage is shown in VR of Reho pg 295 for: "PEIRCE, Aaron and Nancy (Round), both of Rehoboth", on 23 Jan 1800. This may or may not indicate an m2) for this Aaron; suggesting the death of Laphe (Lepha) sometime before that date. Possibly.
However, she may have died much later, long after Aaron's 1832 death. And, possibly due to a divorce, she may have remarried earlier. In either case, she may be buried elsewhere under a diff. last name.
Unfortunately, a death for PEARSE, or PEIRCE: Lepha (or Laphe) is not found in VR of Rehoboth, nor in Rounds/VR of Swansea (1992). (No entries in either for PIERCE.) Nothing pops up at AmericanAncestors.com No gravestone inscription is found in the Trim data for Lepha or Laphe Peirce at Hix. Also not indexed in Susan Salisbury's "Southern Mass. Cemetery Collection," V2. Although this author didn't cover Hix, the lack of facts suggest she's buried elsewhere under a diff. family name.
There's no commonly known record indicating her name at her death, her date of death, or her place of burial. There's no record to indicate she's buried at Hix Cemetery, Rehoboth, MA. Further data with sources very welcome so we can figure out what happened to her!
