I am interested in the Andrew PIERCE family of Lincoln Co, NC. Andrew can be found in the 1830 and 1840 census enumerations of that county, but not in the 1850. Family stories tell that James Andrew PIERCE and a brother were captured by indians while the family was killed. Later James escaped and ended up in TX via AL. Has anyone every seen or heard of a story in the area concerning brothers captured by indians. James was born around 1827 and I do not know at what age they were when captured. The 1830 census shows two males 0-5 (1825-1830) while the 1840 census shows 1 male 0-5 and 1 male 10-15 (1835-1840 & 1825-1830). Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
