The registry referred to in my message on the Board was started sometime before 1897. My husband's grandmother started the registry before she married, and she married in 1897.
It definitely states (7) seven brothers who settled in Littlevalley New York, U.S.A.
(5) five came to New Brunswick & Nova Scotia after the American Revolution and two remained in the U.S.A.
Three (Torries) as they were called to N.S. and Two (2) to N.B.It is written in the registry that Henry Piers (our Line) (ret G) I do not understand this statement.
The registry further reads His sons William, Charles and Richard
William (2nd G) had three children, Howard, Caroline & Charles Samuel.
Howard(3rd G) had two children, Maude (4th G) Maude is my husband's grandmother, and Gilbert.
Caroline had, Roy, Edith, Ethel, Edward, Headley & Willard.
C. Samuel had three - Ethel May, Annie Esther and Charles Ernest Frederick.
When I check into the registry a little further. she as entered the following:
Pier's - First beginning of the Piers Family, 1066 William the Conqueror. A Piers Gastonguay came from Normandy to England during a conquest. When they established there, they took the given name Piers as the family name. From that came Peers, Pierce and Pears & Pearce.
Maude has entered several entries on her cousins and where they moved and whom they married and their children in her registry.
Hope this gives you a little insight into what she had written about her great grandfather and his beginnings
