Marriage Notes for Henry Thomas Oxford and Phebe May PIERCE-770
Henry and Phoebe Oxford witnessed the marriage of Frank O. Pierce and Martha Greely, 30 Apr 1887, per Email from Betty Block 15 May 2002.
Peterson, Phoebe M. marriage 30 Jan 1883
Married, at the residence of the bride, in Greenwood, Clark County, Henry T. Oxford to Phoebe Mae Peterson, both of the village of Greenwood.
from The Clark County Press, 12 Jun 1875
C. M. Miller, so long connected with the stage business in this county, and for the past six months with the Greenwood line, exclusively, has sold that line to John Arquette, and retired from the business. Mr. Miller intends giving his attention to the pursuits of agriculture, for the present, in opening up and farther improving his farm near the village of Loyal. If as successful as a farmer as he was in the business from which he has retired he cannot fail.
Another prison record at the historical society gave this description of Arquette:
Sheriff - W. D. Harsham
married
can read & English
Catholic
Habits: Temp.

"John Arquette, who was recently acquitted in Janesville of the charge of arson, has brought suit against Rock County for $10,000."
The Daily Northwestern (Oshkosh, WI) Nov 3, 1908
"AGED MAN GOES TO PRISON
Pleads Guilty to Fraud - Has Served Time Before.
Black River Falls, Wis., Nov. 1 -
Quick work was made of the case of John Arquette, charged with erasing the name of Mrs. Katie Terrill from a stolen deed and substituting his own and having the deed recorded. He decided to plead guilty before Judge O'Neill and was given a five year sentence at Waupun. A singular coincidence was that about twenty-five yearsago Arquette was convicted of arson in Clark County and prosecuted by Judge O'neill, then a young lawyer. But a new trial and change of venue cleared him. In his plea for clemency before the judge this was brought out and also the fact that he had served two terms at Waupun, one for bigamy and one for horse stealing. he is sixty-nine years old."

Thomas Pierce was born in England and migrated to America sometime before Feb 1634/35 when he joined the church in Charlestown.He left money in his will to Harvard College. Was he perhaps a scholar?
Since Thomas and Elizabeth had a daughter named Persis it is thought that Persis was perhaps Elizabeth's maiden name.
