Brad,
The person whose a member of your site with an ancestor named Richard Pearce, born 1615 Bristol, England is allegedly and possibly a descendant of Henry "Hotspur" Percy of the famed Percy family.I've seen this cited in many places and is possibly true.
His DNA is no match at all for mine.If I am also a descendant of this English family, perhaps my branch split off before Joseline of Louvaine married a female heir of the Percy family and took her name so the family line could continue (1059AD).
