I found your site while searching for info on Albert Orlando Pierce's parents, Francis S and Rebecca Page Pierce. My wife is a direct descendant through Albert and second wife Sarah Susan Duncan. We have researched Albert's family, have more info to share and would love to trade documentation with you.
ReplyDeleteRoger, would like to see your wife's line, particularly information on Albert's second wife. Had not seen a last name of Duncan for her.
