I lost the e-mail naming the persons who put the 1850 GA Census on the Pierces on-line. Just wanted to say, "Thank You." What a great job you did. I really appreciate this work. And since I found two Andrew J. Pierces born in 1847, one in Butts and one in Lumpkin ----just wondered if anyone had further information on either family that would be helpful to me in my search for my Andrew's father and mother. My Andrew married Lina Grizzle in AL. It could have been the second marriage. They had three boys named Bennie, Charlie or Charles, and Franklin. He died in Arkansas in 1929 and Franklin signed his death certificate - so Franklin had to be living in Arkansas in 1929. ANY help would be appreciated. VPG Surnames: Pierce/Pearce, Lynch, Grizzle, Brisendine--AL,GA, NC

Most of the children came to Arkansas,homesteaded lands in what is now Grant County. Was in Bradley County originally befor Grant County was formed. First wife died but have no record of where she is buried. Married again about 1865 Mary Rebecca Hodge Shell a Civil War widow. This marriage produced 4 more children.

Thanks to all on the lists who helped me find marriage license of MY (Yesss) William W. CARROLL to Elizbeth PEIRCE in Reading, Pa. 31 May 1921. Found names of Elizabeth's parents also , George PEIRCE (deceased) and name was spelled PIERCE, his wife was Emma-nee SOLT-her name was spelled PEIRCE . Same document two different spellings (go figure). If anyone has info on Wm and Elizabeth's daughters , Jean and Gloria, would like to hear from you. Thanks again Diane in WI

The person that was originally quoted from that note is on this list - they were "going back in forth in commentary" - on what someone on this list posted to a generic list - The other list admin should never had said anything yesterday after I sent my note - it was not his place to send that to the list after I had "resolved" the issue. Unfortunately yes there are problems with said, as this is an ongoing issue, I will probably at a later date have to ask for support from this group in re to resolving this issue as it continues to go on behind the scenes. I have a great deal of respect for all of you on the list - and I only want people to have fun with their genealogy and for everyone to "get along" and to "be a virtual family" (sounds hokie huh?) but truly, alot can be accomplished by a group by joins together, I can't do it all - you have all been wonderful about policing yourselves - so let's all knock down those brick walls and perhaps at some point other people can understand that a team is a team only if everyone is joined together. Thanks again for being such a nice group - Brenda Pierce

Hi Ryan, Regarding your Pierces in Kentucky. You listed a Reuben who was supposedly born in VA in 1775. I'm not sure when he migrated to KY but I have come across a "Reubin" Pierce in the Culpeper VA 1820 census who was aged 26-45. The census listing is: 00001000010000001000120001001000 He isn't in my line (I don't think!) but I thought I'd send him to you, just in case he's in yours. Susan B.

Hi Chuck, I find the coincidences interesting... My Adeline M. COOMBS b.c.1873 Titusville, Crawford Co., PA at some point relocated to Westfield, Chautauqua Co., NY and married my James A. PEIRCE b.c.1865. Prior to their marriage they are found together on the Westfield, NY Presbyterian Church Roster of 1889. Adeline COOMBS is the daughter of Hannah P. HOLMES b.13 Mar 1824 Trenton, NY d.17 Mar 1891 Titusville, Crawford Co., PA. Her HOLMES family spent some time in the town of North East, Erie Co., PA. All that I have on my James A. PEIRCE is that he had a brother named Colonel Albert E. PEIRCE/PIERCE/PEARCE b.c.1870 who later lived in Ravenswood Estates, Jackson Co., WV. Adeline COOMBS and James A. PEIRCE went on to marry and have children James Nelson PEIRCE b.c.1890-1896, and Alice M. PEIRCE b.17 May 1898 Brooklyn, NY d.20 Dec 1988, NJ. Grasping at straws, probably, but wanted to get the info out there! -Kat in VA Also Researching: Bittenbender, Blachut/Blahut, Brink, Christman, Davis, Evans, Franeknfield, Green, Piksa, Mock, Shafer, Sims, Vandermark, Weis, Willis NJ/NY/PA.

These two individuals were buried in the Barwick Baptist Church Cemetery, Brooks County, GA. Does anyone know where Jacob B. Pierce was born and his parents' names? 135.

Here's my line. 1. and 2. were supposedly born in Virginia, and died in Pulaski County, Kentucky. All of the others (Pierces, anyway, not sure about their spouses) were born and died in Pulaski County, Kentucky. My data is stops cold with 1. I'd obviously like to trace this line further back.

Hi Folks! Just my opinion... I didn't plan on getting involved, but copying someone's post without their knowledge to another list can cause problems. I've seen it happen a lot. I don't know if it's a copywrite issue or not, but it's just plain rude to copy someone's post from one list and send it on to another list without the permission of the writer. It can cause trouble if the original post is taken out of context due to the "new" audience not being the audience the original post was intended to reach. Does this make sense? :) My own example is a post I sent to a very fun and jokey Genealogy Yahoo Group that I belong to. The discussion was about Ireland, the Irish etc. I made a tongue in cheek comment about the Irish, and someone in the group who thought it was funny innocently sent my comments on to one of the Irish lists at Rootsweb. OY! I am so glad that he didn't mention my name or email address because they did not find the humor in it at all! They were really mad and the resulting unrest on their list continued for weeks! Everyone in the Yahoo Group who knew me, knew that I meant no disrespect and was just joking - but the Irish list folks did not take it that way. Just one little example. -Kat in VA "Archer, Patricia E." wrote: > > If I remember it correctly Duane Pierce (Webb Pierce) got pretty nasty with > the old Pierce list administrator and was barred from the list.

According to my Grandma there was also a daughter named Martha, I would assume she was born between Mary and Lydia if she was at all. Any help in locating information on the children Matilda, John, "Bud" (I'm assuming his real name was Morgan, Mary, or Martha would be appreciated. I do know that some of the children of these were living in Arkansas as I have two photos of nieces of my G Grandma Flora's with their husbands and children. The pictures only say nieces of Grandma Jamerson in Arkansas. Morgan had moved his family to Arkansas about 1858. He served in the confederate army in Dawson's 19th out of Scott County, Arkansas 1862. He only served a year. Morgan moved his family back to Missouri by July 1871 as their son Vade was born in MO in that month. Morgan's wife Martha died in about 1872. Morgan died in Lincoln County, MO on March 13,1885. What connection does Morgan Pierce have with Daniel and George Pierce (they were brothers) of Lincoln County? Were they his uncles? Any help is appreciated. Patty

I am researching the PIERCE line from North Western Pennsylvania. My GGG Grandfather was Philip Pierce (25 Aug 1812 - 22 Apr 1891) from Sparta Township, Crawford County PA. He and his wife Amanda (COATS) (1 Sept 1817 - 13 Oct 1897) are buried in Britton Run Cemetery, just outside Spartansburg. I am looking for information on the parents/siblings of Philip (possibly from Vermont) and Amanda (from New York per 1860 census). One of Philip and Amanda's sons, Oscar S. Pierce (19 Jun 1839 - 22 Jun 1890) married Lydia F. HAMILTON (25 Apr 1850 - 21 Aug 1927) on 24 Nov 1873. I am looking for any information on Lydia. The 1880 census shows that she was born in Ohio and that she and Oscar lived in Corry, Erie County PA. Oscar and Lydia had a son, Frank (or maybe Fransis) (12 May 1881 - 1 Sept 1946). He married Anna E. KARASH (10 Feb 1881 - 7 Feb 1944) on 11 June 1902. Anna came from East Prussia with her parents Frederick (1843 - 1918) and Minnie (ROTKE?) (1840 - 1902) Karash and lived in Westfield NY. I am looking for any information on the Karash family. Any information on these descendents would be greatly appreciated. Chuck

I think there's been a misunderstanding. The objection to the recent listing on the other "Pearce" list had to do with re-posting someone else's message, without their permission or knowledge. It was more of an etiquette/privacy issue than a breaking of a set of written rules from Rootsweb. I've been quoted before on another list, and the person who used my post asked me before she forwarded it to another list. I appreciated that and gave my permission for her to do that. I've also found things that I've sent out posted on other sites and attributed to another researcher, which was a little unnerving (they had gotten the information wrong, too, and I had to have that coordinator correct it!) I guess the "etiquette" part is important so that the original poster won't feel awkward or hesitant to post again. And remember...the messages you send out today are archived, and can be read generations from now by OUR descendents. What will they think?

If I remember it correctly Duane Pierce (Webb Pierce) got pretty nasty with the old Pierce list administrator and was barred from the list. He then started the other Peirce/Pearce lists. This is just what I remember happening several years ago. I really don't intend to get into this much, but I say just ignore rude emails from him. And I really don't understand why he thinks a person can't convey information from another person's email on his lists to this list. It may be that they can find a link with those subscribed to this list. I do know that this list takes into consideration every spelling of the Pierce surname and I for one am only subscribed to this list. So if someone posts something to this list from the others that I haven't seen, then it could help me. I don't see the harm in it. I think that there are a great bunch of people here that can all benefit from any information that may give someone else a clue to break down their brickwall. I've never responded to any of these discussions before, but just wanted to reiterate when Brenda says that this list is intended for all Pierce spellings. Keep digging for those roots! Patty P.S. Brenda, is there a rootsweb rule about posting information from another list onto this one? I didn't think there is? And can it result in being barred from some lists? -----Original Message----- From: Marty Irons [mailto:k2mi@frontiernet.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 3:20 PM To: PIERCE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PIERCE-L] Multiple lists? Why? After reading Webb Pierce's rules and regulations, I ask myself why is there more than one list for various spellings of PIERCE? I did not know that more than one such list existed. Having multiple lists makes it more difficult to post and to read messages that contain different spellings for the same surname. Published genealogies, NEHGR, LDS IGI and others group similar spellings together, and we all know that census takers couldn't spell very well anyway. I vote for sticking with one list for all variations of spelling of PIERCE, and since I started here I'll stay here. My two cents worth. Marty Listers Please Note, There is absolutely nothing wrong in posting a message regarding the PIERCE, PEARCE, PEIRCE surname at any time on any of the above lists, or all of them. What IS wrong, is taking someone else's message and posting it somewhere the originator did not intend it to go, or they would have placed it there themselves. Please do not make this a bigger issue that is already has been made by other list Admins. I thought a simple note to the guilty party would be sufficient to keep it from happening again. I even went to the trouble of sending it to her personally but she wants to share it with the world so I am sharing my response to all three lists as well. What happens on the PIERCE list is none of my concern, but as Admin of the PEARCE and PEIRCE lists, reposting someone's message that was posted only on the PEARCE list, to another list without the authors consent, will not be tolerated and if it happens again, the guilty party will be barred from said list.
