I too am researching FINCH, PIERCE and SNOW. My grandfather was Everett Horton Finch. His parents were Stephen Horton Finch, born September 29, 1876 and died October 23, 1923; Dora Jimmy Gateley, born March 22, 1889 and died February 4, 1981. Dora's parents were James Henry Gateley born June 24, 1862 and died July 20, 1907 (story is he shot himself with a shotgun) and Savannah Alabama Pierce born June 22, 1865 and died June 29, 1909. Savannah's parents were Robert Pierce and Mary Snow. Unfortunately, I have no other info. Any connections?
