Thank you for the quick response. The only connection I have between the Pierce Quirk of Racine Co. that I am related to(born in Tipperary in 1808, died in WI 1879) and a John Quirk is that he had a son named John who must have been born in the 1840s. I think my Aunt said that Pierce had brothers that come to the US, but although I do not remember the names, I do not remember a John as one of the names of Pierce's brothers. I do not have any information about where Pierce's son John lived or died. Some of Pierce's descendents did move to South Dakota, but the ones I know of were more in central SD - not as far east as Grant County. I will paste below what I know about Pierce, if that is of any assistance. I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful.
