Born on 2 Feb 1679 in Woburn, MA.124
From the Holden Genealogy, page 74:155
Nathaniel Pierce, “an orphan,” aged 15 years (son of Nathaniel Pierce, born 4 Dec., 1655, and Hannah Converse, died 23 March, 1679), born 2 Feb., 1678-9, petitioned that his uncle John Holden of Woburn be appointed his guardian. His father, the elder Nathaniel, had married in 1680 Elizabeth, widow of both Thomas Whittemore and Hopestill Foster, and daughter of Thomas Pierce of Woburn. The younger Nathaniel Pierce was left £10 by the will of his grandfather, Allen Converse. Although so much of the record would point to Sarah Pierce, wife of John Holden, as a sister of the elder Nathaniel and daughter of “old Robert” Pierce, who died 10 Sept., 1706, it does not appear that he had either a daughter Sarah or Abigail,3 nor does it appear that Allen Converse had a daughter who could have married with John Holden.
