Members of the Pierce and/or Peirce family have had their surname changed back and forth. My family descends from Samuel Wood (born 1750, married 1776) and Abiah Pierce (Peirce). Where can we find the correct spelling of the surname of Abiah, her father, John and other members of the family?

There is a book titled, 7 Pierce Families. It shows at least three spellings of the name. The family came from England, and settled in several states. My husband's branch, settled in New England. Other branches went to southern states. Members of the family are also found in Revolutionary War Pention Roles, Eddy Note Books, DAR records, Mayflower records, and T. Weston's History of Middleboro Massachusetts.
