Notes for Isabel Pearce:

The coincidence of Isabel's surname and that of the captain of the Lyon, William Peirce, has not gone un-noticed by Sackett researchers. Captain Peirce enjoyed a degree of fame for his skills as a seaman and for the safety of his many trans-Atlantic voyages. His career is well-documented.

Little, however, is known of Isabel. Her birth or baptism records have not so far been discovered. Weygant states that, after migrating from Cambridge to Hartford, Isabel became the second wife of William Bloomfield. Again, this marriage record has not yet been found, nor has a death or burial record.
