"Solomon Lewis 2d, Samuel Mason and Isaac Pierce were lost on the Jersey shore"
This record is undated, but is between records dated 11 Apr and 28 May 1827. Solomon Lewis's gravestone provides the date.
There were 2 Isaac Pierce/Peirces of Wellfleet, b 1808 and 1811. One died in a shipwreck in 1827, and one married Drusilla Snow in 1825. I guess that the elder one drowned and the younger married. 33

General:
"MD 9:162, Caleb Pierce of Yarmouth granted a power of attorney in 1730 to his uncle Isaac Pierce of Eastham, and further names Caleb's father as John and Caleb's grandfather as Abraham of Duxbury."Marriage Notes (Jane Young)
It is likely that this is the Isaac Pierce who married Esther Covell in 1745, rather than the inferred son, since he left a widow named Esther. 53
Poorly documented family. This supposed family is weakly referenced (FC Pierce) and may not be correct, since the children's ages fit poorly. 54
