Saw your subject post on the INCLAY-L(a)rootsweb.com
One of the best places to start looking for ancestors in Pierson Township of Vigo County
IN is the Special Collections Department of the Vigo County Public Library (VCPL) in Terre
Haute IN.
I would suggest you send an email detailing (names, dates, locations) your query to:
specialcollections(a)vigo.lib.in.us
The above is the email address for the Special Collections Department at VCPL.
The Special Collections Department has one of the best genealogical collections for
western Indiana and eastern Illinois available. They have several full time librarians
available to answer your query.
The URL listed below is a direct link into the Local History and Archives Section of the
Vigo County Public Library. The is a "Log In" Section, BUT IT IS ONLY NEEDED IF
YOU USE THE ANCESTRY OR HERITAGE LINKS. Everything else is open to non library members.

Look at the "Basic Sources for Genealogical Research".....this is a great
listing of books, microfilm, and other sources for individual counties in the Wabash
Valley of Indiana and Illinois. There are many other sources to look at on the Special
Collections site.
There are additional open databases for Marriages and Obituaries available.
Good Hunting,
