This lineage is being kept on WeRelate to forestall future incorrect linking of Richard Pierce to Sir Ralph Percy. No changes should be made to this lineage without new evidence published in a peer-reviewed journal or post-2000 edited book showing primary sources.

   Note: The lineage from Ralph Percy to Richard Pearce presented in this book without the support of primary sources is considered to be without substance, as there is no evidence for Peter Percy (supposed great-grandfather of Richard Pearce²⁰).
   
   The children Richard²¹ and John²¹ existed but the origin of neither is known and there is no evidence that they were related to each other. There is no evidence for the remaining children, either.
