The surname of Susan (Susanna) is almost always found as "Peironnet" but occasionally as "Pieronnet." She was born in Wayford, England, when it was part of Dorset County, now the South Somerset District of Somerset, England. She was a resident of Buffalo, New York when she died

From "Santa Clara County [CA] Biographies": Prominent among the noted captains of industry who have contributed greatly toward the development of the resources of the Golden State, the late James Peironnet Pierce will ever be given an enviable place in California history. His father, Henry Miller Pierce, was born in Axminster, Devonshire, England. His mother, Susan Peironnet, whose parents were both French, was born in Wayford, England. In 1820, she, with her parents, moved from England to Friendsville, Pa., and was soon followed by Henry Miller Pierce, whose father, John Harvey Pierce, had offered $10,000 to any of his sons who would go to America to live, having great faith in the future of this country. Therefore, Henry M. got both the money and the girl he had wanted before she left England."
