Hi Shirley, Joan and I have discussed our Beebes a few times but haven't quite connected them to each other. However, I also have a BEEBE ancestor who married into the PIERSALL/PEARSALL line and can tell you about that line. Does this information sound like yours? John Piersall (son of Samuel Piersall) b. m. Emily _____(name not listed in book) 10 children: -Samuel -Edward -David -George -Roseltha -m. James Miller -Elizabeth -Ellen -Anna -Lavinia -Jane The Piersall/Pearsall line is a long one and if the above Roseltha is indeed your Emily Roseltha Piersall, then you can track your Piersall line WAAAAAYYYYY back. Let me know if this information sounds like what you are looking for. I have a thick three volume set on the Piersall/Pearsall line. If this is your family then your ggggrandmother would be my gggg aunt (if I have enough greats). John Piersall was the brother to my ancestor, Eliza Piersall (b 1829) who married David Beebe (b 1819). Hope this helps! Barb
