• Notes

  The following information is reported to be written by one of William's siiblings. I found it among records in my father's (Jay Wilson Casper) family history files. I do not know when it was written or how the information came to him. Nancy was married and divorced before she met Charles Card. Franklin Pierce married Nancy Campbell and they came over the pioneer trail to Utah. After they cam here Mr. Pierce decided to go back east. Grandmother Nancy had one son Frances. She refused to leave the saints and go back to Illinois. So he (Franklin) went back and left her after getting a divorce. Nancy met Charley Card, my mother's father. They fell in love and married. Nancy raised her boy as one of the family until Francis was a young man of about 20 years. He came to Idaho and look up a homestead over in Annis, Idaho. Charles Card - Father Nancy Cambell - Wife Children:............... Charles Card Lucy E Card Viola Card Annie Card Elnora Card George Francis Pierce was born January 7, 1829 at Maidstone, Kent, England, the son of Thomas Pierce and Mary Butler. He had two sisters. His father died when he was about two years old. His mother married again when George was about eleven years old. The family sailed to America somewhere between 1841 and 1845. The family ended up in Wayne County, New York. For a time the family lived in Palmyra, New York near the Hill Cumorah where the Latter-day Saint prophet, Joseph Smith, received the golden plates from the Angel Moroni. George spent part of his boyhood days near this sacred spot. Later George went south across the boarder to Pennsylvania where he worked as an errand boy for a drug store. Here he picked up valuable information on mixing medicines and salves. In Pennsylvania he heard Mormon Elders preaching the Gospel and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was baptized in 1856. That same year George married Nancy Campbell on October 31, 1856 at Liberty, McKean, Pennsylvania. There were born to them two sons--Francis Marion Pierce, May 1, 1857; and Thomas Caton Pierce, born May 1859 (died May 8, 1861). George and Nancy separated and were divorced. He joined the Mormon immigrants and came to Ogden, Utah in Captain Brown's Company. (George's mother and sister, Sarah, remained in Wayne County, New York [where their husband's farmed] the rest of their lives. George filled an honorable LDS mission in New York. On his return to Utah he brought many valuable papers and news from the East. At that time there was no communication with the East, only by Pony Express. If during this mission he tried to persuade his family into accepting his new faith, it appears he was unsuccessful. Out west George had many experiences with the Indians, who were sometimes friendly and sometimes hostile. George understood the valuable use of herbs, how to cook them, and the usefulness in case of illness. He made a salve that was very helpful for infected sores and bruises. In September 1863 George met and married Jane Nancy Romriell Hammond. He was her second husband. Her first husband, John Joseph Hammond, left her a widow with a child after only two years of marriage. She did not know that she was expecting another child when he died. Matilda was born eight months after John Hammond died. Jane supported herself and her daughters by gleaning wheat in the field before her marriage to George Pierce. He cared for her little girls as though they were his own. She was sealed to George Pierce in the Endowment House on June 19, 1871, as were her two daughters by John Hammond. They made their home in North Ogden where they kept a grocery store. Later they moved to a farm on West 2nd Street known as Bingham's Fort. This fort was built with a high wall to protect the settlers from the Indians. Here they reared their family. Jane and George had eight children as follows: Caroline Sophia, born September 4, 1867 George Thomas, born December 16, 1869 Eliza Rebecca, born October 31, 1871 Benjamin Franklin, born September 9, 1873 Elizabeth, born and died October 8, 1875 Porter Marion, born September 21, 1877 (He was excommunicated from the Church June 4, 1923 and joined the Jehovah's Witnesses and never returned to the Mormon Church) Frederick Abraham, born December 15, 1879 Bertha, born November 22, 1881, died August 11, 1882 George Pierce died a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on November 29, 1897 in Ogden, Utah. He was sixty-eight years of age at the time of his death. He died of Pneumonia.
