My ggf was Thomas Kellar Pierce, b. 1841 in Crawford Co., PA. He had a sister named Jane Pierce, b. 1848, who married Charles Shoup. Could there be a connection with the Emma Dee Shoup you mentioned as having married Paul Lenoir Bruner? As I wrote you before, Tom K.'s son William S. Pierce was in partnership in a livery stable with H. E. Bruner in Franklin PA in the early 1900's. Maybe there was some kinship. Regards, Linda Pierce Moore
