i don't know why you are quarrelling with me. i just posted some of the hits i got from nehgr, typed in the articles. i am looking for a daniel pierce in my line. this is a public service that i am doing. i don't think this is my daniel pierce. so i don't know a lot about it and can't answer any questions about it. i identified that purpose in my first post, but i will identify it in all subsequent posts. i can't vouch for the truth or falsity of any of it, am just typing. i haven't received any other email about what i have been doing. i don't know if anyone else wants me to stop doing it. i had intended to do some more searching tonight and type in some more stuff. suzanne hamlet shatto ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillip Lawson" <plawson@wingnet.net> To: "Suzanne Shatto" <shamlet@earthlink.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 6:06 AM Subject: Re: [PIERCE-L & Variants ] more on daniel pierce 4, and a daniel peirce genealogy > Suzanne, I think most of this started in N.Y. to Pa.
