There are no dates on this copy of my documentation for the above generations. I have a bio written by the grandchild of Daniel/Ellen which mentions that they did, indeed live if Rochester, Minn.

Jensen -s/o Mary O'Brien) of the bio states that he was born in Soioux City, Nebraska A picture is included with my information showing a church in County Wexford -Rosslaire (Ireland) where the Pierce family attended. The first Pierces may have lived in New Jersey before ending up in Rochester, Minn.
