Hi Wexflyer,
You did come across as critical, rather than preachy but probably, like me, you don’t want the wrong information being followed
Just to say, it was no bother to find the list of children and that was, in my mind, to explicitly show the likelihood that there is no Elizabeth and unlikely that there would be.
Without a marriage, it is difficult to trace her back and at the moment there is no marriage plus the difficulty of the two surnames in birth records. I don’t think there is ‘confusion in the thread’ but apologise to the OP if I have caused this.
I do like to be as thorough as possible and helpful. I have tried to point out, perhaps you see this as inefficient, to show that Elizabeth is not of that direct Pierce family. I enjoyed reading about them as a sidetrack, I suppose, but no matter, one can see how possible stories and rumour evolve.
My ways help me me just as yours, I am sure, help you - that’s the way of of Rootschat
Thank you for your comments - they are useful and I might try to be more efficient - perhaps a bit too late though.
Regards
Heywood
