Buffalo, NY Vizards?

Surnames: Pierce Vizard
My great-grandfather Victor Walker Vizard was born in 1877 in Buffalo, NY. He claimed to the 1910 census that his own father was from Louisiana and his mother from Maine.

My father (Victor's grandson) told us that Victor's mother was a Pierce from Maine, a member of a colonial founding family related to Franklin Pierce, Barbara Bush, etc.

Family lore about the Vizard father from Louisiana was that he'd come up on foot in the 1800's... nothing can I find about Pierce and Vizard. Dad claimed Victor had a brother Harry who was an actor and business partner to Tyrone Power Sr. but I see no evidence of a brother Harry who is not an English actor... I saw a Lou Vizard in multiple productions with Tyrone Power. I don't know if this is a false trail.

Does anybody have a story that matches up with these people?
