    Notes:

    Timothy Pierce, Birth, Pierce Genealogy, by Frederick Clifton Pierce;(Press of Chas. Hamilton, No. 311 Main Street, Worcester, 1880), page 54;No Marriage proof; Death; Early Settlers of New York State by Janet WethyFoley, page 443, This book indicates that Timothy was 63y 2m 22d at thetime of his death. This results in a conflict of birth date as this meanshe would have been born in 1776, not 1764. On the same page it shows the"headstone" of Mahitable, w of Daniel; this leads me to believe that thismight be our Timothy. "Early Settlers of New York State" by Janet WethyFoley, page 443.

    Married a second time and to this union were born nine sons and one daughter. Moved to western New York.
