This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Pearce, Pierce, Hyatt, Hiatt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5cB.2ACI/728.1 Message Board Post: A Joseph Pearce whose sister married a Hyatt (their names usually spelled thus) lived in Marion County, Missouri, in 1861 but seems to have left there about then. He was in his late twenties or early thirties at the time. Can this have been the Joseph Pierce killed by Isaac Hyatt? When did the shooting take place? Any more details on it or the people involved?
