Although it can’t be proven, it is likely that William Maillard Pierson was Joseph’s brother. He was, at the very least, related.What is known, is two of Joseph Pierson’s children and one grandson traveled west to settle in the Greenhorn Valley. Joseph and his siblings were raised near Canton, Ohio.
