Researching ancestry of John Pierce, b. NC, m. 1805 Barren County, KY, Margaret Lacefield. Children William, Nancy, Lucy, Rosannah, James, Paschal, Frances, Elizabeth and John. I have information on children but John's parents are my "brick wall". Allen's History of Kentucky says John Pierce was in Green County "early," which could mean before 1800. Believe John had a brother, James, probably a couple years younger, also b. NC, m. 1803 Green County, KY, children William, Polly, John, Nancy, Lydia, George, Adam, Milton, Francis and Sally. Any help appreciated. Sue Pierce Steele-Mahaffey ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?

anybody ever heard of this guy or his survey?? JAMESTOWN, TEXAS (Smith County). Jamestown, also known as Berrien, Jimtown, and Old Jamestown, was just south of Wilds Creek in eastern Smith County three miles north of Overton in Rusk County. The site, settled in 1846, was part of the Edward Pierce survey and was located at the intersection of Mound Indian Trail and the Starrville-Omen Road. In 1853 David and Elizabeth Steber began laying out streets and selling lots at the townsite-with the stipulation that no taverns be opened-and in 1855 the settlement was granted a post office called Berrien; J.

A new one I am working on has text for all the photos with each photo. Each photo is embedded in its own html page. this gallery for my uncle harry faus does not have any text as I am working on another one first.

Hello Fellow Pierce Researchers: Most of this email concerns my most wanted Pierce: the living descendants of CAP Clem Abercrombie Pierce and his wife and three daughters Child of Clemeth Pierce and Altha White is: 2 i. C.A4 White, born 1871. Notes for C.A White: Although a natural illegitimate child by Clem Pierce and Mrs. Atha White, Clem Pierce did fully adopt CA White on June 28, 1878. Altha White Consented to Adoption- Recorded Johnson County Adoptions Book R page 176 Children of Clemeth Pierce and Mollie L. Gordon are: > i. Jessie4 Pierce, born November 05, 1882; died Feb 10, 1884. Buried in Pierce Cemetery GoatNeck Johnson County Tx. 4 ii. Fannie Pierce, born 1880. 5 iii. Willie Pierce, born November 1884. 6 IV. Mossie Pierce, born November 1886. I found some new maps of Goatneck, TX Johnson County and got permission to post them on my pages. this area is where the Pierces settled when they moved from Hall/Lumpkin Co GA. have a look http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/goatnecktx.html Also Finally looking through all my genealogy files I have turned up the burial place of Clem Abercrombie Pierce and it is listed on his page now. I had a letter from WE "Jack" Carlton, (the guy that gave me the lead on the Joel J Pierce mystery) a couple of months ago ---that I had not studied thoroughly. Sure enough he sent me some photo copies of the civl war assoc in cleburne and they had his burial listed at Cleburne Cemetery Block 28, Lot 20. The johnson county genweb pages has a photo of the Civil War Guys Reunion 1900 I think Probably Clem is in it. I could not pick him out. http://members.xoom.com/ldpierce/CAPierce.html here is the link to Clem A Pierce Page The info indicated his date of death of 1908 not 1907 as I had in my files. I am going soon to take photographs and see about getting a civil war marker on his gravesite. Maybe his wife is buried there and I can finally trace this family. I know some land the family still owns is coming up for lease renewal in 2000. Clem Abercrombie Pierce raised Olla Dell, George Washington Pierces oldest daughter, and my great great grandfather LD Pierce Sr. raised Bertha Pierce Force. Lester Jones still living is the 2nd oldest living pierce in our family He is desceneded from Olla Dell. The oldest is Valney "Chunk" Fisher oldest son of my grandfathers sister Salley Pierce Clark. I guess you all had received the message that I had finally had word from LD Pierce Sr (Peglegs) wife's family FINLEY. that stuff is on the finley pages I had the "search this site" box up date my pages and if you want to see anything about any of these people I have mentioned just type in their names in the search box and all pages concerning them will come up. also have a look at a new genealogy photo gallery I did for my uncle harry It is really not an advertised site- but you are welcome to have a look My skills on these photo galleries is getting better. A new one I am working on has text for all the photos with each photo. Each photo is embedded in its own html page. this gallery for my uncle harry faus does not have any text as I am working on another one first. The third photo on the left column is a beautiful photo of my mom that my 90 grandmother has had all this time. now we can all have copies. It is best photo I have see of her when she was young 18 or 20. As you probably have seen via the pierce email list our work on the descendants of Hugh Pierce VA is still building. Still no Proof linking our family to his.

This is the first inkling I have had as to a Daniel Pierce. I have been stuck at Daniel Pierce, Sr., married to Nancy (maiden name unknown). I have a list of seven known children, the youngest of which, Daniel Jr. is my ancestor. Daniel Jr. was born in Tennessee in 1791. If you have any additional information I would appreciate hearing about it. Max Robinson [email protected] wrote: > Hi new cousin Julie! > > I, too, descend from Joshua Pierce and Hopestill Holloway.

Hi new cousin Julie! I, too, descend from Joshua Pierce and Hopestill Holloway. They did have a daughter Eleanor. My descent is through their daughter Anna. Here is a start for you and I'll be glad to share more. Anyone wishing further information on the direct Pierce line down to Joshua and Hopestill are welcome to see my web site at "http://members.aol.com/JAncestry/pierce1.html". Joshua Pierce: b. 25 Jan 1785/06 Pembrook, Plymouth, MA d. 15 Mar 1794 Cornwall CT m. Hopestill Holloway 20 Nov 1729 in Middleboro, Plymouth County,Massachusetts, and deceased 13 March 1794 in Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut. 7th Great Grandmother Hopestill, of Middleborough MA, deceased 10 April 1784.<< The book "Seven Pierce Families" has Joshua as descended from a Daniel Pierce of Watertown, Massachusetts. The story "The Seven Pierce Families" about how the Joshua Pierce of Newbury, Essex Co. ended up in Pembroke, Plymouth Co. has long been questioned and suspected that maybe, because of the name, it was assumed that they were the same person. It is more likely that our Joshua is the son of John Pierce and Elinor Chiles (Childs) rather than Joshua Pierce and Johanna Gerrish as stated in "Seven Pierce Families". The children of Joshua Pierce (son of Daniel) and Johanna Gerrish (daughter of Moses) in "Seven Pierce Families" were: Daniel, Anne, Mary, Henry, Moses, Samuel, and Joshua. The children of John Pierce and Elinor Chiles, as stated above, were: PRISCILLA (b.c1696 Duxbury), ELINOR (b. c1698 Duxbury), Caleb (b. c1700 Duxbury), Thankful (b. c 1703 Duxbury), Joshua (b. 1705 bapt. Feb 22, 1713 Pembroke d. Mar 13, 1794 CORNWALL), Nehemiah (b. 1708 Pembroke d. Feb 21, 1777 CORNWALL), Mary (b. c1710 Duxbury), Benjamin (b. 1712 Pembroke), Mercy (b. 1714 Pembroke). The children of Joshua and Hopestill were: Joshua (b. 1730 Pembroke), Elizabeth (b. 1733 Pembroke), JOHN (b. 1734 Pembroke ), Sarah (b. 1736 Pembroke), ELEANOR (b. 1739 Pembroke), Seth (b. 1742 Pembroke), PRISCILLA (b. 1745 Pembroke), Anna (b. 1750 Cornwall) None of the names from the Joshua/Johanna family carry through to the next generation while several do in the John/Elinor family. John and Elinor were married in Duxbury in 1695 and their children were either born in Duxbury or Pembroke. In addition, a Joshua Pierce was baptized in Pembroke on Feb 22, 1713 and, because of the date, it could not have been the one from Newbury. None of Joshua Pierce/Johanna Garrish's other children ended up in Cornwall where at least one other son (Nehemiah) of John Pierce and Elinor Chiles died there. Per Don Dickenson, while the information is circumstantial, it is believed and a very strong case that years ago someone assumed that the Joshua in Pembroke was the same as the one in Newbury and the story has been repeated over the years. Following are vital records from Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut for my 7th Great Grandparents Joshua Pierce and Hopestill Holloway for some of their children: As per letter rec'd from the Pembroke, Massachusetts town clerk, Pg. 160 Pembroke births - Pearce(see Pearse, Peirc, Peirce& Pierce) - Eleanor d.

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this list and I have an inquiry: Does anyone know what the names of the children are of Eleanor Pierce (b. 1739-?) and Solomon Johnson (1735-1786), who were married 28 September 1758 in Cornwall, Litchfield, CT? Eleanor's parents were Joshua Pierce (1705-1794)and Hopestill Holloway (1703-1784) of Pembroke, MA. I am hoping that one of their children's names were, Eleanor Johnson, the same who married Capt. Benjamin Gold on 26 November 1784 in Cornwall, CT. If anyone can confirm this for me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Julie Lund

Do you have Elias Hampton Pierce b 1855 in MS in your "inventory". He married Elisabeth "Bettie" McCanlies in Navarro Co. TX in 1875. They lived in Eastland Co. and Mitchell Co. TX for many years. I have been unable to connect him to other TX Pierces, and would love to have some information on your Pierces. Elias had a brother named Joe, we believe. I also have Sarah Pierce b 1817 VA who married A.G. Campbell in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN and came to TX (1st to San Augustine Co. 1838, then Nacogdoches Co. til 1850 and finally Anderson Co. where she lived 1860 til after 1890. And John Aaron Pierce (b abt 1818 NC/VA) lived in Henderson Co. until he died in Aug 1859. John A Pierce 'in his lifetime' deeded 10 acres out of a parcel of land (1/4 of a league--276 acres in the Alfred B Davis survey) to A.G. Campbell. This 10 acres was exempt when the rest of the land (266 a.) was sold 25 March 1862 to Ira Pruitt after John A Pierces's death in 1859. Benjamin Parker was administrator of the estate. > I surely would appreciate your checking your files for these names. These TX Pierces have been very elusive and I have almost despaired of ever finding anything about them. Linda M. Sykes

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my quest for Charles PIERCE!! Charles was born 19 May 1845. I appreciate all the response and when I finally find out where he came from and if his father is actually James PIERCE, I will gladly share the info!! Thanks Again to ALL, Alice

Shelia, Your story was great. I have no stories so far to write because we can't find out anything about Burrell Pearce. He really knew how to hide. Carlyine Gibson Pierce

Wm. Pierce was my Great Grandfather. For any of his family that might be looking into his history I am sending this, I will post it to the Project as well: WILLIAM PIERCE Father Joshier P. Pierce Mother Nancy Jane MERRILL b. Saline Co. Kansas d. 1915 Lawrence Co, SD Buried Mt. Moriah Deadwood, SD M. Christina Emeline Smith Children: Ernest Rose Florence died age 1 Robert. Died age 3 This is a copy of a clipping of an old newspaper, probably from Lead or Deadwood, SD. It was difficult to read no date or name of paper were included. William who lived a mile above Pluma in Strawberry Gulch, SD was struck by a motorcycle and sustained injuries from which he died Sunday morning July 14th 1915 at nine O'clock. The accident happened near the deep cut just below the gas plant. Saturday night about seven. The motorcycle was ridden by Jerry Harrington, a fireman on the Burlington, who lives in Lead City, SD. In the tandem attachment was passenger Arthur Baker, a Burlington car barn employee. A corner's inquest was held yesterday morning at Schuite's undertaking parlor. The jury, composed of E. M. Mitchell, C. H. Henderson and George Parker after considering the evidence introduced, brought in a verdict of "Reckless and careless driving on the part of Harrington." Mr. Pierces' Daughter, Rose who was with him at the time of the accident, they were returning to their home from a visit with an aunt who lives just above the hall park at abt. 8 PM. They had just reached the cut just below the gas plant when they heard a machine coming towards them. Mr. Pierce Stepped t o the road, the machine veered, striking Mr. Pierce with a tremendous force. Harrington stopped the machine and went to Piece's assistance and in the meantime a party in another car came along and picked Mr. Pierce up and started to the hospital. Mr. Pierce requested that he be taken home as he thought nothing was seriously wrong. He was taken home where his daughter gave him every assistance possible. She under the impression that he was sleeping, did not try to arouse him until sometime later. Failing to arouse him she went to a neighbor's home and a doctor was summoned. Sunday morning Doctors Fehliman and Allen held a consultation, discovering that an operation was useless as he had sustained a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain. Pierce leaves a wife and family of five children, Ernest, age, 21, Rose 18, two small boys, and Christina Emeline. ( actually the article was Three boys but I have taken the liberty of correcting it) Mrs. Pierce and the son were out on the ranch at the time. Rose the daughter is in a very nervous condition as the result of the accident, but was able to appear at the corner;s inquest. A report reached this office that the daughter Rose was in a serious condition as the result of a nervous breakdown. A doctor was called, but at the time of going to press nothing further could be learned. (It was thought in later years that Rose perhaps, had suffered a stroke that paralyzed half of her face. From a very young age at about that time of her life she had no control over the muscles of one side. Her faces dropped with a "lazy eye". ) My Great Grandmother, Christina Emeline, never remarried. She always told me with a twinkle in her eye that she didn't want to have to take care of some old man!! She had married Wm. when she was 15, he was 23 a Mead County Assessor, in July 1893. She supported her children with the help of her oldest sons and lived to a ripe age d. 12-13-1969. She is buried in Deadwood with her son and husband. She was nicknamed Tiny, I guess because she was so small. Bright blue eyes and a clear head, I remember her harvesting strawberries and making shortcake for my sisters and I. She had exceptional daughters. One of them. Gladys, is my grandmother b. October 16th, 1906. She is still the most incredible woman alive. I have more tales to tell, the kidnapping ,the Indians coming to the door, but it is late so I must go now. Thank you for giving me this forum to tell about my incredible heritage. I am proud to be from such strong and wonderful women as my grandmothers.
