"letter from Edward Pierpont (second cousin to Francis Pierpont Doughty) via FD: "John Pierpont went to England from France during the French Revolution (1789-1799). His son Thomas born in Liverpool died there. His son Richard born in Liverpool ran away from home when he was 18 years old and came to America, first in NY then to ME. He was a candy maker by trade and always followed it. He drifted to what is now Washington and took up farmland. He married a woman named Slater and had two sons John & Thomas. Richard had other brothers who settled in the South."
