I am not really a Crumley researcher, but I have a Crumley question. My ggg grandfather in Greene County, Tennessee was James E. Pierce. He was married at least three times: 1) Anny Green (my line), 2) Mary (Polly) Doty, and 3) Experience (Spriddy) Wells. James E. Pierce was enumerated in the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Greene County, Tennessee with his third wife Experience (Spriddy) Wells. He was enumerated in the 1870 census with his (apparent) wife Elizabeth. I am trying to figure out if there was an enumerator's error and Elizabeth was really Experience Wells, or if James Pierce married a fourth time. His last child was born about 1863. There is a Greene County, Tennessee marriage James Pierce to Elizabeth Crumley, 13 Aug 1865. I do not have a date of death for James Pierce, except that it was after the 1870 census. I do not have a date of death for Experience Wells, except that it was after the 1860 census (and maybe after the 1870 census, if "Elizabeth" in the 1870 census was really Experience). I have been trying to figure out who Elizabeth Crumley was who married James Pierce in 1865 in Greene County. There were at least two James Pierces in Greene County at the time -- my James E. Pierce (b. about 1804), and his son James W. Pierce (b. about 1842). I have found James W. Pierce in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses, but he seems to drop off the face of the earth after that. Experience Wells was born about 1821. Elizabeth, the apparent wife of James Pierce in the 1870 census was born about 1821. So the dates are consistent with two people being the same person. But if the 1870 Elizabeth was not the same person as Experience Wells, then we know that Elizabeth was born about 1821. I can't find any Elizabeth Crumleys in the 1850 or 1860 census who look like good candidates to have been born about 1821 and to have married James E. Pierce in 1865. On the other hand, if it was a younger Elizabeth Crumley who married a different James Pierce (presumably James E. Pierce's son James W. Pierce), then I can't find them in the 1870 or 1880 census. Any help would be appreciated. Jerry Bryan _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
