Anything you have on the family would be great. I have traced my father's Peer's from Jersey City to Fairfield through children's birth certificates. They must have moved to Jersey City between 1850 and 1860. There were only a few Peer/Piers in Jersey City and a George W. Pier and family in Hoboken at the time.
Perhaps the Peer (John Peer and Ann Jacobus) children's names would prove interesting. They were: Barney, Leonard, Richard R. ,Elias (Edward), Benjamin, Emma J., Walter, Thomas D., and David.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!
Take Care,
Eileen
