BETSEY'S gravestone was in good condition in 1968. In his research to
determine when and where OLIVER died, the compiler (Adm. CARPENTER) was
fortunate to come by genealogical data on the PIER family (see OLIVER'S notes)
through the courtesy of the late SIDNEY B. ELSTON of Corryy, PA., register of
vital statistics and treasurer of Pine Grove Cemetery, Corry, PA., in 1966. He
consulted sextons of the following cemeteries, without success, in an endeavor
to locate the burial site of OLIVER: Pine Grove Cemetery, Corry, PA.; McGray
Cemetery, Concord Twp.; Beaverdam (PA) Cemetery, David Curtis Cemetery,
Columbus, PA.; West Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, and the Spring Lake (PA)
Cemetery. A gentleman who tends Corry area graves on Memorial Day and devoted
years to locating forgotten gravesites said OLIVER was not interred in any of
the six PIER lots in Pine Grove. Near the Pine Grove Entrance is a large
granite tablet placed in memory of Civil War Veterans and not necessarily
confined to those interred in the cemetery. The tablet was dedicated to the
cemetery by a JASON C. SMITH, whose wife, MARTHA A. PIER, came from Blockville,
N.Y. The other OLIVER PIER whose name is listed on this tablet was a son of
the OLIVER PIER who wed BETSEY CARPENTER.

04654. A detailed history on the PIER family starts on page 20.A history of Erie County, N.Y. records OLIVER PIER was one of the early
settlers of Concord Twp. and in his day, a famed hunter who claimed to have
killed 1,322 deer, plus numerous wolves, bear and other wild animals with a
single gun. He became totally blind and lived with his son, WILLIAM, at Corry,
PA. OLIVER was the son of LEVI and ANN (DEWEY) PIER of Busti, Chautauqua, N.Y.
OLIVER purchased land in Harmony Township's Twp.1, Range 13, Lot 2, in 1816 and
Lot 10 in 1831. He was affectionately referred to as "THE LEATHER STOCKING OF
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY" due to his feats as a hunter. His father came to the Busti
area from Oxford (Pierstown) in Chenango County, then part of Otsego County,
NY. Much effort was made to find OLIVER's grave in the 1960s. See
spouse's notes.* * * * * * * * *
!PIER FAMILY- The following Genealogical information regarding the PIER
family is recorded here so it may not be lost to posterity. It is copied
verbatim from an article prepared by CALVIN A. PIER, son of an OLIVER PIER.
(From the T. C. Book page 20) [I agree with Adm. Carpenter - JRC]The PIERS of Chautautauqua County, N.Y. and nearby counties of PA
are descended from JOHN and LEVI PIER, two grandsons of Sergt. THOMAS and
MARGARET PIER who settled in Great Barrington, Berkshire County, MA about
1730. From whare Sergt. PIER came from to Great Barrington, I have not been
able to ascertain. But if correct he or his grandfather came from England.
Sergt. PIER lived in Great Barrington until his death in 1778 and had a family
of at least eight children as follows:
THOMAS JR., father of JOHN and LEVI, he married RACHEL TREMAINE and lived to be
about 90 yer's old. JOHN died at the age of 14 years.
RHONDA married BENJAMIN TERMAINE (so spelled) of Edgemont.
DAVID served in the French and Indian War in 1755 & 1756.
RUTH married Mr. CHURCH probily JOHN CHURCH and was cut off in his father's
will with five shillings.
SOLOMON was born 1739 and was probily the soldier of that name from E.
Barrington engaged in the siege of Boston.
OLIVER designated in a deed of 1779 as of New Haven, Addison County, VT.
ETHAN who is designated in a deed of 1779 as of Tymouty, Bennington County,
VT.Of Sergt. PIER's sons JOHN and probily DAVID & SOLOMON died before their
father without any descendants. All the PIERS Ive ever met trace their ancestry
to THOMAS of VT; as Sergt. PIER'S sons OLIVER & ETHAN went to VT, it
is likely the were the ancestors of the VT PIERS, quite a number of whose
descendants now live in MI & WI.
THOMAS PIER JR. was the oldest of Sergt. PIER'S children and was executor of
his will and had a larger part of his estate than any other one.
He lived in G. Barrington the greater part of his life, and there all his
children were born, six sons
JOHN born May 30, 1752,
LEVI was born June 3, 1754. The other sons
DAVID
SOLOMON
ABNER &
SILAS.
About 1790 THOMAS JR. and his six sons some of whom has family's moved to
Otsego Co., N.Y. and settled upon a track of land afterwards called after them
Pierstown. THOMAS JR. & wife finally went to Chenango Co. and lived with their
granddaughter SALLY PIER ROOT and died there. THOMAS JR. died in the year 1816
or 17 and his wife died the year previous.JOHN & LEVI married sisters NANCY & ANN DEWEY.
JOHN had three children by his first wife,
RACHEL,
THOMAS &
TRUEMAN;
THOMAS sons were JONATHAN & NORMAN and grandson Mr. DOHOBSON, had lived in
Chautauqua Co.
JOHN married his second wife PHEBE STEPHENS a woman with a remarkable memory.
Their children were

HERMAN,

DANIEL and CALVIN settled in Chautauqua Co. on the road from Fredonia to
Dunkirk where his daughter AMELIA now resides,
RUFUS at Jamestown where he married CATHERINE BLANCHARD & lived there till
he died in 1863. JOHN'S son
WILLIAM was in Chautauqua was in Co., but moved to Hyde Park, PA.
JOHN remained in Otsego Co. and died there while his son RUFUS was quite young.
Our Grandfather LEVI, brother to JOHN.
LEVI PIER born June 3, 1754; he moved from Pierstown to Chenango Co., N.Y.
lived there several years, but in 1814 settled with his son ABRAM and younger
children in Busti, Chautauqua Co., N.Y.; his wife ANN DEWEY PIER died about
1816 and he died in 1826; his second wife was widow PIERCE mother of his son

JOHN & LEVI were members of Captain GOODRICK'S company of 46 men who marched
from G. Barrington in August 1777 & several PIERS of G. Barrington were in
different companys that served in the Revolutionary War.LEVI's brother ABNER had the notable experience of them all according to
CHARLES TAYLOR'S HISTORY OF G. BARRINGTON, and the account is corrobated by
others. ABNER was at the Battle of Stone Arabia in the Mohawk Valley, Oct. 17,
1780, was taken prisoner by the indians one of his captors struck him on the
head with a tomahawk took off his scalp & as he lay helpless they shot him
inflicting several wounds; he was then left for dead, but recovering strength
to crawl to a nearby hayrick where he lay till morning when his comrads found
him, though terribly mutilated recovered & lived mant years some of his
descendents are still living in Otsego Co. His daughter Mrs. HARRIET KINNEY of
addison, N.Y. has visited Jamestown, N.Y. His son GEORGE was famous as a
clarinet, fife & bugle player & served as musician in the War of 1812; he died
in 1831 in his 37th year.The above in the spelling and words of CALVIN PIER, per ADM. CARPENTER.
