According to the 1851 Census, George Piercy and his wife Ann Winter and their children came to New Brunswick in the years 1843 to 1845, as follows: George and his wife Ann in 1844; Thomas as a single man, in 1845; their son Robert in 1843; daughter Ann and her husband Robert Burrell in 1845; daughter Jane in 1844, and daughter Mary in 1845. It is very difficult to verify dates of their arrival--it is possible that they all came at the same time! It seems likely that the unmarried daughters Jane and Mary would come at the same time as their parents.

George's brother Thomas and his wife and children came to New Brunswick in 1837 and were among the first settlers of Harvey Settlement.

He married Ann Winter, 11 Jun 1815 in Ford, Parish Records And Dissenters. Born Approx 1792 in England. Died 11 Jun 1867 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery.

They had the following children:
13 i. Thomas Piercy
14 ii. Robert Piercy
15 iii. Ann Piercy
16 iv. Margaret "Jane" Piercy
17 v. Mary Piercy
