  1. 1.  William A. Pierce was born Abt 1849, Foster, RI (son of William Pierce and Emeline Hopkins).

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census the family is at Coventry: William A. Pierce 21 RI works in woolen mill, Sarah C. 21 RI keeping house, Abby F. 1 CT, and Lorenzo 13 RI works in woolen mill. Daughter Eliza age 3 appears to be living with her Matteson grandparents in 1870 and 1880.

    William married Sarah Catherine Matteson Abt 1866. Sarah (daughter of William T. Matteson and Catherine Matteson) was born 19 Feb 1849, Cranston, RI; died 11 Apr 1922, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Eliza Ann Pierce was born 20 May 1867, Scituate or Fiskeville, RI; died 4 Oct 1930, Coventry, RI; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Washington St., Coventry, RI.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  William Pierce was born Abt 1830; died 12 Dec 1895, Scituate, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is in Foster, RI: William Pierce 20, Emeline 23, William A. 1, all born RI.

    In 1860 they are still in Foster as follows: William Pierce Jr. 29, Emaline 33, William A. 11, Nancy E. 5, Lorenzo E. 3, and Infant (male) 1.

    The death record, which I am assuming is for the correct individual, identifies his parents as William & Diana Pierce.
