Hello Estelle:
I was doing the research on the Piersols for my in-laws. So
far I haven't found any indian linkage as my research shows
Piersol going back to England; they became wealthy after
arriving in America as tobacco growers.
I have been in contact with Dr. David Beggs as he is doing
the research on the Beggs also and has a membership with the St. Louis,Mo library where he has found much information.
Perhaps you could contact him to see what he has found.I know he mentioned that the family had made comments/rumors about possible Indian ancestors. I do know it is very hard
to trace indians especially if an indian woman marries a white man then they are ousted from the tribe and the records are lost.
Wish I could be of more help, good luck.
Sharon
