Source: Book
Title: The Peirce Family of the Old Colony or The Lineal Descendants of Abraham Peirce. By Ebenezer W. Peirce of Freetown, Mass. Published 1870
Pages 384 and 385
"Abigail Peirce. Daughter of George Peirce and wife Sarah Peirce; m. John Hoar, of Middleboro, now Lakeville, and they removed to Pelham, Mass. John Hoar served in the patriot forces in Rhode Island in the war of the Revolution, and was in the company commanded by Capt. Henry Peirce. He was a son of Robert Hoar and wife Rachel Hoskins, grandson of Samuel Hoar and wife Rebecca Peirce. He received a provision in the last will of Major Peter Hoar, of Middleboro, who was his half brother.
John Hoar and wife Abigail Peirce had:
Calvin, married Betsey _________
Abigail, married _______ Hamilton
Rachel, married _______ Hamilton
Judith,
Harriet,
Sarah,
Evelyn Leonard,
Philip, married Harriet Peirce (?)
Hermon,
Washington,
Edmund,
William,
Eddie,
For what is here given concerning the family of John Hoar, the writer is indebted to Miss Abiah Peirce [Abiah Peirce, born Jan. 27, 1792, dau. of Hermon Peirce and Rachel Hoar]."
Note- not listed are Mercia, Adah, or Nelson. Her "Eddie" might be a nickname for one of these three not named.

The census uses name HOAR until 1850 then uses HORR. John and Abigail (Peirce) Hoar's neighbor, John Cowan, uses HORR in his memorandum book, as early as 1837.
("Memorandum Book" by John(?) Cowan of Pelham Hollow, Massachusetts. He wrote of events of his life between the years 1837 and 1857. Mr. Cowan was father-in-law to John and Abigail (Peirce) Hoar's son Nelson)

1800 census for Pelham has, image 3 of 6, with the H surnames, what looks like John Hoar with the name crossed out, no numbers. It is almost half way down the image. Maybe John refused to give information??? There are three other names crossed out on this page alone. Did not find any other Hoars. Pelham was the home of the historic 1783 Shay's Rebellion.

"Robert Hoar [senior] was a miller and operated a grist mill, which was operating yet in 1792 when it was sold by his son, John. He [Robert Sr.] divided his father's property with only surviving brother, William [the Deacon] in 1765. Robert was a prosperous and active citizen." Norton T. Horr

Two of his children married descendants of George5 Pierce. (GEORGE5, ISAAC4, ISAAC3, ISAAC2, ABRAHAM1)
Jonathan Hoar married Abigail Pierce, and Rachel Hoar married Harmon Pierce-Peirce. Robert's son Peter Hoar married Mercy-Marcy6 Pierce. (Job5, Ebenezer4, Isaac3, Isaac2, Abraham1 PIERCE) I am still searching for the parents of Olive (Polly?) Pierce born 1771.

Could not find him as head of household in 1790 census.

Robert Hoar Sr. married three times. He had one son, Robert Hoar/Horr II with wife Sarah Willis. With wife Judith Tinkham he had three children; Peter, Sarah and Judith. His third wife Rachel had been previously married to Hoskins/Haskins or Hathaway and they had two children John and Rachel.
