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. Enough Said! Duane Pierce PEARCE & PEIRCE List Admin

Collene & Pierce-L Subscribers: Please read this message in its entirety. The message Collene received shown below, was NOT from "THIS" list, it was from the PEARSE list. That list manager is telling her not to post messages from HIS PEARSE list to THIS PIERCE list. I don't have a problem with "cross-postings", but I don't have the authority over other lists and in one respect we should remember that "The copyright of any message post belongs to the poster". This PIERCE list has always been for "ALL Pierce and Variants" - the Pearse list was only started a couple years ago when RW decided to open up all the variants of all surnames - I just want to reiterate - On the Pierce-L list EVERYONE SUBBED TO THIS LIST is welcome to post any item (assuming it is within the realms of the RWAUP) and the list guidelines on anything to do with Pierce, Pearse, Pearce, Pers, Percy, - any of the Pierce variants. Sometimes the reason you are looking for Pearse or Pearce is because a census taker or marriage clerk simply spelled it incorrectly, so with that being said. This list is for ANY/ALL Pierce and Variant research. I am very proud of how well you all get along together on this list and I very rarely "step-in" unless I have something to contribute that I think is worth hearing. So let's all get back to find those Pierce, Peirce, Pers, Pearse, Pearce, etc etc. .... ancestors Brenda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Collene Pearce" <collene@jump.net> To: <PIERCE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [PIERCE-L] Re: Pearce (fwd) Excuse me.

Looking for information about the Zaddock and Susanna Astin Pierce line from Pittsylvania/Halifax Co., VA, area. I cannot find anything on their families. They had the following children, Jain, married Abram Frizzle, Sarah, Susannah, married Samuel Morris, William, Zaddock Jr., Mary (Polly), born about 1792, married William D. Gammon, Walker, born about 1799, and Catherine (Kate), married John B. Gammon, my line.

Hi, Interested in contacting families connected to Manderville Pierce, Loudoun Co.,VA, born in 1820s, son of John & Charity Pierce. He married Ann Elizabeth Pierce (aka Thomas) in 1846. Children include: Missoura, Hector, Geer, Isabella, Estelle & Estella, Nanna & Epha, and Seymour. The latter had two sons: Vernon Franklin Pierce and Seymour Ritner Pierce, Jr. Vernon Franklin Pierce relocated to the DC area and had 4 children. My interest is in Manderville's wife - Ann Elizabeth Pierce, d/o Hector & Maria Thomas Pierce. She died in 1897 near Airmont, VA. Susan B.

I'm getting desperate trying to find the origins of Darius & Thomas PEARCE, brothers, who were born in Bristol Co, RI. DARIUS PEARCE born 1787 married Hannah SHACKFORD of Eastport, ME in 1815 and lived the remainder of his life in Eastport. I think he was a mariner in his early years and then became a merchant. He died in 1873. THOMAS PEARCE born 1795 married Elizabeth Clark in Eastport in 1816. He was a sea captain and was lost at sea with his son William in October 1834. Darius had a son called Thomas Arnold Pearce. This could be a clue to a possible family connection with the ARNOLD family. Pearce has been spelt in various ways eg PIERCE. Is it worth my getting a researcher to look for mention of the family at the Maine or Rhode Island Historical Societies or is there anywhere else someone could suggest where I might find information on their parents? Any advice gratefully received Kerrie Australia

I know that in one case in particular, a Peirce family from Shutesbury, MA moved to Brewerton NY (near Syracuse) and within a generation changed to the other spelling. Betty Wilson
