William Pearce, born in Tennessee about 1837, married Elizabeth Coleman in Bradley County on 15 Dec 1859. They had children Martin, John F., Alonzo and Cicerow (twins), Julia, Docia, Alice, Dock R., and Calvin. He is in the Bradley County Census from 1860 through 1900. Does anyone have any information on this family? Is he related to Thomas M Pearce who was killed by Alford Hicks in 1861? I am trying to acertain if William is the brother of my great-great grandmother Elizabeth Pearce Crowell who came to Bradley County before 1860. Betty
