Posted on: Johnston Co. NC Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Johnston/2168 Surname: PIERCE, EDWARDS ------------------------- My gg grandfather Jesse PIERCE was born in Georgia but is said to have come to Texas from NC. That is about all I know about him. I know a good deal about his discendants. He married Florence EDWARDS in Texas abt. 1871-2. They had two daughters Mary and Emma. Jesse died abt. 1879 in the fall. I keep looking for something more about him and his family. I hope that his relatives have some knowledge of him that has surived. When I saw the two Jesses on you quiery I thought I would just try even though past experience tells me it is a slim chance that our Pierces are related. I would apprecate any help and look forward to hearing from you.
