Dear Karen, Think I have a match. John was the son of William Aaron Pierce and Martha "Patty" Perkins. John was one of nine children: Ruth, Joseph b.1814, William, Malinda, Mary Jane, Minerva, John b. 1801, Aaron b.1814, and Ebenezer b. 1827. Besides your listed children for John and Martha I have Amanda b. 1830. Let me know what you think about the possibility of these being the same folks, and I'll give you what else I have. An also Karen, Karen Smith
