    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]

    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.
