From the Fordington Parish Baptismal Records for 1621:
"OCTOBER 28 PERSIS THE DAUGHTER OF ANTHONY EAMES WAS BAPTISED"

The transcribers footnote is: Persis is an unusual female biblical name - she was a Christian woman in Rome whom St Paul salutes - she was spoken of as “beloved and as having laboured much in the lord”

As for her mothers maiden name, I'd also like to know. The only records of a Pierce surname in that parish (including all possible variants) document a Margery Pierce as follows:

JANUARY 20 [1621] ROBERT THE BASTARD SONNE OF MARGERYE PEIRCE? WAS BAPTISED
APRILL 29 1624 ROBERT BASE [I.E. ILLEGITIMATE] SONNE OF MARGERY PIERCE BURIED.

If anyone knows the actual maiden name of Anthony's wife, I'd sure like to know.

I'm also trying to find documentation of Michael Pierce's birth (I found one record which lists 1612 rather than the ubiquitous 1615)

Also birth dates of Anthony's children.

Carol, I would be interested in your family group sheet on this couple. I believe they are on my direct line as ancestors of Joshua Eames of Bradford County PA (1763-1814).

Still verifying, but believe the line is Anthony:Mark:Anthony:Anthony:David:Joshua.

Am I on track with the parents of the first Anthony as Thomas Eames (c 1548-1618) and Millicent Brewer?

Did Anthony Eames have a son, Robert Eames, born in 1636 in Boxford, Essex Co., MA, d 1693? This is the one who is supposed to have married Rebecca Blake.

I'm working daughter Elizabeth's line (Elizabeth & Edward Wilder), and would appreciate any family info you can pass on to me.
