Pierce
Mothershead Family Ties
Samuel T. Mothershead & Ella Swain
Please bear in mind that all information is always susceptible to errors, though I have verified as much as possible with research.
Samuel T. Mothershead was the younger brother of my grandmother, Anna Belle Mothershead Pierce. Born in Jefferson County Missouri, after he married Samuel moved his family out West. Most of the information below is generously contributed by Samuel's great-grandson, John Samuel Mothershead, who is my second cousin once removed.
If you're a long-lost cousin or old family friend and would like to
share information, photos, or swap tall tales, we'd love to hear from you! Please be sure to put the names PIERCE or MOTHERSHEAD in your subject line - I delete email from screen names I don't know without even opening it since I get horrendous amounts of junk mail!
