I am looking for a Pierce family that was in Blount county at least from the mid-1850s until after the Civil War. They were originally from GA: Louvenia Emaline Pierce b GA 1837, both parents born GA, married Jasper Anderton in Blount Co AL April 19, 1857. In the 1860 census of Blount: Jasper N. Anderton 30 SC Louvenia E. Anderton 22 GA Henry Clay Anderton 1 AL I don't know what happened to Jasper Anderton ; I did find a Civil War record for him, but nothing after that. And Henry Clay must have died - there is no further record of him either. Lou Pierce Anderton was in the 1870 census of Madison Co AL. Nearby in the 1870 census of Madison Co was Jacob B. C. Pierce (I believe the C may have stood for Callahan) b. GA 1835; he is listed as J.B.C. Pierce among the "Blount County Hornets" in the CSA. I have not been able to find him in the 1860 census. The 1862 "Confederate census" of Blount Co lists a Callahan B. Pierce with two children (no mother) and states that the county commissioners gave Jasper Anderton a stipend for the care of "Mr. Pierce's" children. Is anyone acquainted with a GA Pierce line that spent some time in Blount (or neighboring) counties? This is my brick wall. Thanks, Pat
