Hello List: I have been researching my Pierce line and have not had any luck past my great great grandfather and was hoping someone out there can make a link for me. Marcus M. Pierce was born in Rhode Island on September 19, 1842 and died in Comstock (Long Wood) Valley Co, Nebraska on December 06, 1882. Military Service: Enlisted - Binghamption, New York; Civil War - Co. E 109 NY Infantry; Mustered Out at Delaney House, DC. I have found him in the 1850 and 1870 census in Providence County, Rhode Island. He was married to Anna Nary (daughter of Charles Nary and Margaret Jordon) on September 27, 1875 in Falls, Pennsylvania by Rev. Isaac Austin. My brick wall - who was Marcus M. Pierce's parents?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
