Thanks Brenda for the invite, and I do have missing links in my Pierce line. The furthest back I have is James Pierce, b. abt. 1821, d. abt. 1894 he lived in PA I believe, that is where the rest I have are from. He married a Mary Jane McNaughton, b. 22 Jun 1821, Clarion County, PA, d. 25 Jan 1901, Fisher Twp. Clarion County, PA. They had William Alfred Pierce b. 1855, d. 1927 Henry Alexander Pierce, b. abt. 1860 Joseph Pierce, b. abt. 1864 William Alfred Pierce is my great grandfather, he married an Elizabeth Pearce, b. abt. 1837, d. 1935. BUT according to the 1880 PA census she was born approx. 1817. The birth and death were aquired through someone else. William and Elizabeth had my grandfather William Stanley Pierce, b. 26 Mar 1888, d. Jan 1984. He lived 15860 Sigel, Jefferson County, PA His siblings were: Mame , Mary, Thomas, and Elvie. 1920 PA census places Mame at 33yrs. old. 1880 PA census places Thomas at 4 yrs old, so he must have been born in 1876. Thanks to anyone who will take the time to look. I have of information on many people, but very little to my direct line of Pierce. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
