Jean, All this info has been filled in by other descendants of Stephen and Lavinia Geers Pierce who have shared with me. I list the couple with seven children named Nancy, Augustus, John, Josiah, James, Elizabeth, and Herod Pierce. I have Augustus Pierce b. 16 Aug. 1798 in Mecklenburg Co., Va. m. Unknown abt 1820. Eight children were named William B., Elizabeth Caroline, Lavinai Catherine, Stephen Pinkney, G.W., Mary Jane, Martha L., and Sarah R. Pierce. Augustus d. 24 Feb. 1872 in Henry Co., Tn. Augustus then m. Middy Thompson on 25 Feb. 1856. Is your Martha Angeline the daughter that I have listed as Martha L.? I have nothing on her except a b. of abt 1840 in Henry Co., Tn. William B. Pierce, son of Augustus, m. Lydia Angeline Huie daughter of Benjamin Huie who was a brother to Eli Thomas Huie. Lydia Angeline was Eli's niece. Augustus Pierce's brother, John, had a son named John Worrell who m. Adeline Huie. Adeline was the daughter of Eli Thomas and Susan Vaughn Huie. Susan Vaughn Huie was the daughter of William and Nancy Pierce Vaughn. Nancy was the sister of Augustus and John. These Huie, Vaughn, and Pierce families are all so closely woven. Again, research shared with me, not researched and documented by me, shows the parents of Stephen Pierce to be Josiah and Elizabeth Britt Pierce. Josiah's parents are said to be Joseph and Ann Basford Pierce. Joseph Pierce's parents are said to be John and Elizabeth Newsome Pierce/Pace. I hope that this helps you.

Due to technical and/or operator error <vbg> I lost all my today's mail prior to about 5 p.m. I did glimpse it and know I had some requests and messages that needed response...so if you were "one of em" please re-send. jan

Lucille, Sorry I don't have any of the other Quinns. These facts are noted in a book that I bought about the Sykes family. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information. Some of the info for my line of the Sykes family was inaccurate but the majority of it agreed with my own research. Sorry I couldn't help more. Kathy

I have a Sarah Holliday (Sally in 1850 Census) who married Stephen Pierce. I do not know who her parents were (still looking) but Sarah/Sally Holliday and Stephen Pierce were my gggrandparents. They had a daughter named Sarah Pierce who married Thomas Weaks. To my knowledge, they resided in Henry CO (Paris) TN. I don't know if this will help you any, but, maybe.....let me know.

Mary, Thank you for your kind offer. If the book goes back that far, I'd really appreciate a lookup for my gg gf John G. (Glass or Green) Asher, d. 1924 in Henry Co or his wife Susan (Epperson) Asher d. 1925 in Henry Co. I am especially looking to confirm John's middle name as well as the names of his parents and siblings. Thanks, Phil Asher

Sure sounds like it Catherine, but haven't heard back from him yet. Have you? Toni

Sarah Stevens, remember my grandmother, Missouri Hatfield, niece of your Margaret Jamison? Missouri's middle name was Lafayette. What a coincidence!!! Anne
