Piercy and a good friend, Lewis Gould, went to the Gold Rush together in California. Lewis found a young girl named Mary and sent or brought her to Indiana to raise with his own children. However, his wife died and the children were all split up with other families. Mary lived with the Wheelers and in 1870, when she was 18, she was living with Sallie Gould, her sister, who had then married L. Justis. One of Mary's great-grand daughters, Jackie, lives in Oregon (as of 9/2002) and is trying to find out more about Mary's history.

Notes for Jerusha Anna Holladay:
[NOTE: Birth date on Jerusha's tombstone is January 17, 1809]
The History of Dearborn County, IN, page 932, states that Jerusha was born in Genesee Falls, Allegany County, New York and her father's name was Courtland; I think this is an error and Jedediah is Jerusha's father's name. Courtland was probably another close relation.
Jerusha's tombstone in Union Cemetery between Moores Hill and Chesterville in Dearborn County, Indiana indicates she died November 3, 1876, aged 67 years, 9 months, and 17 days (making her birthday January 17, 1809).
