Hello Listers: I am still fairly new to this list since I just found the connection to my Pierce line a few weeks ago. This is a great list and has been very helpful to me in the short time I have been on it. So this is what I have accumulated on my Pierce line. I pieced it together from numerous sources, especially posts to this list and others . Much of it came from some of you, and some from other researchers over the last several months (appropriate credit given on my database). If I have gotten any of the connections incorrect, please let me know. My direct line is in bold and underlined. My question is: Is there any connection between the John Pierce who married Rachel Ross, Hiram Pierce & William Pierce who married ???? and this Stephen Pierce? Could they be his sons or nephews? There are several names that are repeated in all these different lines. Another question: Could Lavinia GEERS, really be Lavinia GREER and related to the other GREER's in the area?
