Hi, My oldest PIERCE identified so far is Joseph Pierce born in Delaware in 1801. He married Mary DOYLE b. 1805 in Phila. They apparently both went west and were wed Nov. 20, 1821 in Guernsey Co. OH. Joseph d. Sept. 1, 1871; Mary d. 1875; both in Noble County OH. I have not been able to uncover anything placing Joseph in Delaware except that is on his death certificate. This is one very far fetched possiblity. He may have been born on the ship The Delaware but I have not located a registry. I have no information on Joseph's parents. Welcome any connections out there. Nancy Pierce
