Info on Cordelia A. Pier

I'm a descendant of Cordelia (Pier) Freeman, who appears to be the Cordelia in your query.The book "The Descendants of Thomas Pier" by Joseph Pierre (Bowie, MD:Heritage Books, 1995) does a good job at establishing her ancestry to the immigrant.She was the daughter of Amon B. Pier (b. Oxford, Chenango Co., NY 1801, m. 1825, d. 1885) and Lonis (Bronson) Pier (1804-1859).The above info is from Joseph Pierre's book.
Then from the family bible, of which I have a copy, David S. Freeman was born 15 Jan 1822.Cordelia A. Pier was born 18 Sep 1829.They married on 5 Nov 1845 and David S. Freeman died 6 Jan 1883.All of the above-named people are buried in Cussewago, Crawford Co. PA.
From the Freeman family bible on file in Special Collections at Rutgers Univ., David S. Freeman was the son of William (1796-1872)and Lucinda (1805-1891) (Spaulding) Freeman, and his Freeman ancestors were all from NJ.This family bible takes the Freeman ancestry back several generations.
I'm descended from the daughter of David S. and Cordelia Freeman, Mary C. Freeman (1849-1882) who married James Crispus Harwood (1837-1912).
What is your relationship to this family?Do you have any documentary materials relating to the Freemans or Piers or anything that belonged to them?
