George Piercy's will raises several areas of interest in my search for more information on his wife Sally, who has been recorded elsewhere by various names: Sally Moore, Sally Case Moore. In researching George's reference to his brother in law James Nosler I found a marriage record for James Nosler and Jemima Moore, and later a deed in which Thomas and Ann Moore deeded land "with love and affection" to James and Jemima Nosler. Sounds like Jemima and Sally could have been sisters. But then there's also the reference to his stepdaughter Nancy Ann Bryant, which makes it sound like Sally had been married before. But then the term stepdaughter wasn't always used to mean the same thing. The reference to the Bryant and Moore farms is intriguing. Would welcome any comments or insights people might have.
