Nathan is honored for his Civil Service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as DAR Ancestor #A208632. DAR records indicate that Nathan died in Franknlin County, North Carolina prior to March 26, 1796 and that his wife's name was Ann "Nancy" Westray. Applications for membership in the Society of the DAR have been made by the descendants of their daughter, Elizabeth, who married Thomas Ray; and of their son, Phillip, who married Nancy Bunn. [2]

Researchers Notes

Descendants of this family are eligible to join the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. DAR Records are under the spelling of the surname as "Pierce," with the disclaimer, "As such, the DAR assigns a single standard surname that covers variant spellings of similar surnames. While the surname may appear incorrect, this does not mean it is in error. This spelling system ensures that patriots are not established under more than one spelling."

Nathan's sons, Philip and Stephen are also DAR Ancestors:

Pierce-2167 and Pearce-386 do not represent the same person because: These individuals had different fathers and different children. They appear to have been different people with similar names, married to different women with similar names.

Pierce-2167 and Pearce-386 appear to represent the same person because: The son has been merged and as a result Pierce-2167 will be removed as a father. in order to keep the line intact these profiles need to be merged.

Pierce-2167 and Pearce-386 do not represent the same person because: now that a review is done, the fathers are different along with dates and places

Pierce-2167 and Pearce-386 are not ready to be merged because: Two many differences. Location is not listed for one thing, and the names are different. Needs more research
