Elizabeth/2 Peirce was born in England. Of Watertown, MA, probably there she married, as his 1st wife, by 1644, John/2 Ball Jr., son of John/1 Ball and Joanna King, with whom she had 5 children.2,3
"About the year 1655-6, [John Ball's] wife became violently insane, which fact doubtless accounts for the apprenticing of his children as follows:— John Jr. and Mary or marie (aged 5 years) on Jan. 3, 1656, to John Pierce Sr; Sarah (aged 2 years) on Dec. 9, 1656, to Richard Gale; on Aug. 3, 1658, he apprenticed two other children (aged 3 years and 6 months respectively). His wife died previous to or about 1665."Says Bond, "She (wife) was insane in 1660, and probably had been thus some time. She gave much annoyance to her family and neighbors. [See Reg. of Deeds, vol. iii., p. 81.]"3
Elizabeth Peirce died by 1665, when her husband married (2) Elizabeth/2 Fox.4,3 Her mother's will, 5 Mar 1666/67, mentions granddaughters Mary and Esther Ball, children of daughter Elizabeth Ball.5
