Posted on: GreenLake Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/GreenLake/365 Surname: Pierce, Van Deusen ------------------------- I have a Charles W. Pierce born New York in 1842. He married a Zoa Van Duesen who was born in Oneida, NY in 1853. Oneida borders Oswego. Zoa's family is known to have lived in Princeton, Green Lake, Wisconsin. By 1870 Charles and Zoa have moved on to MN. I have been trying to determine Charles parents with no luck yet. Have speculated the Pierce family may have lived in the same area as the Van Duesen's either in New York or Wisconsin. Perhaps your Joseph C. is a brother, father, uncle of my Charles?
