James S Brady was born on 11 Dec 1811 in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, United States, son of Unknown Pearce (<1795–<1890).
James died on 5 Dec 1881 in Glen Campbell, Banks Township, Indiana, Pennsylvania, United States, aged 69. He was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Urey, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.[1]
James married Nancy Ross (born on 10 Nov 1810 in Pennsylvania, United States). Their known children were:
In 1840, James was living in Black Lick, Indiana, Pennsylvania. [2]
In 1850, James was living in Canoe, Indiana, Pennsylvania. [3]
In 1860, James was living in Canoe, Indiana, Pennsylvania. [4]
In 1870, James was living in Banks, Indiana, Pennsylvania. [5]
In 1880, James was living in Banks, Indiana, Pennsylvania. [6]
It is clear that this "James S Brady" was recognized in the Indiana County community as a "BRADY". YET to be determined is the correct BRADY LINE with which he is identified as "family".
As to the PEARCE / PIERCE DNA father: the endogamous Indiana County families may make the determination of EXACT Pearce /Pierce father very challenging.
As with all DNA-"NPE's" (not parent expected), working toward truth will be challenging.
We will get there.
