Notes:

(Research):Confusing note on Ancestry: Pierce Kyffin mayjesse2added this on 10 Feb 2011 Pierce Kyffin born about 1858 was not a Kyffin but really Pierce Davies. His mother Catherine was a widow who married John Kyffin (also his second marriage). To confuse matters John had a son Price by his first marriage. Pierce is down on the census of 1861 as Pierce Kyffin - stepson. His elder sister was Jane Davies (also known as "Kyffin" during her childhood). Pierce followed his stepbrothers Seth & John to the USA in 1889. I think his wife was Jane Parry, They married in the first quarter of 1881. Had 5 children. My husband is descendant of Jane Davies.

Pierce married Living. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
