Horace was a son of Phineas Pierce & Ruth Rogers Beebe, widow of Cooley Beebe and 2nd wife of Phineas, married January 13, 1803.
To this marriage was born Horace Pierce on November 16, 1803 in Vermont, the last to be born in Vermont.

The plan was to start on the long journey to Smithfield Township as soon as the mother regained sufficient strength from the birth of Horace. Phineas was about sixty years old at this time.

Not so long after the Kellogg sisters married the Tracy brothers a similar circumstance began to develop in the Pierce-Perkins families. Ruth Pierce married Luke Perkins February 22, 1826 and Horace Pierce married Luke's sister Mary, November fifth of the same year. Abiram Pierce officiated at both ceremonies.

Horace bought a possession soon after the old home (Phineas Pierce Home) was sold to Stephen Randall. It was the farm now occupied by Will Clark, on the "Turnpike". He had made a good start on the clearing and had a home ready for his bride, who in turn had the usual dowry of blankets and household linens in readiness; the result of her industrious spinning and weaving
