Pierce, William
soldier, congressman, author, was born about 1740 in Georgia. He served in the revolutionary war as an aide-decamp to General Greene, and for his services a sword was presented to him by the old congress.
He was a delegate from Georgia to the continental congress, and was a member of the convention which framed the federal constitution.
While in congress he wrote his impressions of the men who served in that body, which were long afterward published in a Savannah paper. He died about 1806.
