I have learned that my ggg grandfather's name was John Jacob TRIER. He was b 2 JULY 1838 in the Buffalo, NY. He m Mary Lorena AMES who was from Ausable, NY. The TRIERS were m in Delhi, IA 16 APRIL 1873.
All this information was from a note which a deceased Aunt had written. I am sure there was someone named TRIER in the Coonley family since my father's name was Robert TRIER Coonley. My father had told me prior to his death that he was named after his gg grandfather. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
