    I am looking for information about the parents of Richard Pierceall born in St.Mary's County 1744,who later migrated to Washington County Ky.In my research I have come across possible connections with the Pearsall's and Pursall's of SMC and Maryland.  Mary was the daughter of Richard Pierceall,she was born in St.Mary's County Maryland 1783.Richard and family migrated to Washington County Ky in 1795.
    
    Gates Kunkler:
    I too am a descendent of Mark Brewer. His daughter, Mary Ann, had 2 husbands. The 1st was Sebastian Norris, who died. They had 2 sons. The 2nd husband, Michael Lannan, is my GG Grandfather. In the DAR library, they cited Mark's father James as having 12 children but I can only find the same 8 you have.
    Would like to swap Brewer info. I have the line back to George Brewer b 1625-1640 transported to MD by LCOL Jarboe. His servitude completed 1667. He had 2 wives: Eliza Goddard and Ann (unk).
