Surnames: PIERCE/PEARCE/JACOB
My great-grandmother was Elizabeth Anne PIERCE (born January 27, 1865 in Ireland). When she died in April 1923 in Doylestown, Bucks County, PA, her obituary listed her father as James PEARCE, a brother John PEARCE, and two married sisters, Margaret and Ellen, all in Ireland.

Elizabeth Anne PIERCE married John JACOB on September 20, 1881. They worked as caretakers on the Oak Park Estate in County Carlow, Ireland. They had 12 children before coming to the United States in the very early 1900's.

I've seen the PEARCE name spelled as PIERCE also on some of the childrens' birth certificates.

Can anyone share information with me about Elizabeth and/or her parents??? I know almost nothing.
