Talk:Benjamin Pierce (governor)

Succession
What in the world does this mean:
 * Benjamin Pierce was an original member of the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. His eldest son, Benjamin Kendrick Pierce, succeeded him in 1841. He was then succeeded by his younger brother, future president Franklin Pierce in 1852, and was later succeeded by Benjamin's youngest son, Henry Dearborn Pierce in 1873.

 * It appears to mean that all four Pierces were members of the society. It is poorly phrased. Perhaps only one descendant could be a member at a time? Ando228 (talk) 16:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
