PIERCE married Elizabeth STRINGFELLOW in Madison Co AL 1867 and was in the 1870 census of Madison Co. There are no further records of Taletha Jane LETT PIERCE Green FOUST was killed in the war. I have found no further record of the indentured children James Ambrose and Laura Jane PIERCE. What happened to them? Jacob B.C. Pierce (possibly Jacob Callahan Pierce) enlisted 22 September 1861 in Blount Springs (Blount County Hornets). Under arrest at regimental guardhouse at Pollard May-June 1863. Paroled 17 May 1865. Along with him in the same regiment were Riley Anderton, Berry Anderton, John Anderton, and Reuben C. Anderton. Children of "Callahan Pierce" from Blount Co were being cared for by Jasper Anderton and Lou Pierce Anderton during the war, according to records. These children were named James A. and Sarry J. Jacob B.C. Pierce was born GA ~1835 and was listed in the 1870 census of Madison Co AL with his second? third? wife Elizabeth Stringfellow, who he married in 1867 in Madison Co. WIth them are the following children: Richmond Pearce 9 AL Elizabeth 6 AL Rhoda 3 AL Letha 11/12 AL This family disappears after this census, other than Jacob B.C. Pierce being named in a divorce suit. Thanks for any info! Pat
