President Franklin Pierce

yup what was the city that his father founded? is that how you found it.?

 

[Caroline H]

I can't find anything that says his father founded a city, but that he settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony?? No, I guessed that he was a president and googled US Presidents and found that picture ;)

 

[researcher]

The city is Fort Pierce I believe.

Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County -- Named for Lt. Col. Benjamin Kendrick Pierce, the brother of former U.S. President Franklin Pierce, the fort was headquarters of the Army of the South under General Jesup.
