Maryland Birth - Hiram Emery Pierce

[shellyesq]

There's a 1905 Maine death record for Hiram Pierce, age 68, son of Hiram Pierce and Deborah Watson - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KCD8-78C

This appears to be Hiram Pierce with grandmother Lucy Watson (presumably Deborah's mother) in the 1880 census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MFQ7-KVS

The 1860 census appears to have two Hiram Pierces of about the same age listed separately in Waldo Co., Maine.  One is with Hiram, Deborah, and family and one is a farm laborer.  I don't know if it's one guy showing up on the census twice or if there was more than one guy in the area with the same name and age.

If this record is correct then this Hiram is not the same Hiram who came to Australia.  Maybe he did come from Baltimore and have so far been unable to find him.  Back to square one.

Hi Dpaton,
I am a daughter of your grandmother Essie's brother. I was googling hiram pierce and Mary Delaney and came across your post. I am interested in any information you have, regarding our family.
Thanks,
F Pierce

Hi F. Pierce,

I would be happy to share any information I have so far on our family tree.  All the information I have so far is on Ancestry.com under Joseph Henry Whitehouse tree.  There is a lot on there that I am still trying to verify.  Am especially having trouble finding any reliable information on Hiram Emery Pierce.

Regards
DPaton

Thanks D.patton.
Do I have to join ancestry to view the tree. It sounds like you have been doing a lot of research.
I wondered if you knew much about my grandparents, your grandparents, as nobody seems to know much about Hiram.
I am also interested in hearing more about your grandmother Essie, as my father always spoke fondly of his sisters.
