Bessie: We have Priece's in our family. Is there any connection with an Amon McMillian Pierce who was born in 1832 in NC. married Sarah Jane LaRue in 1866 in Henderson co.TN. moved to TX in 1880's and died in 1922 in Bowie co, TX. I have his parents as Hiram Pierce and Amanda Smith. This is the only info I have on him. Mike L. Redding CA
