Hi all! Still looking for information on my Great Great Grandpa Morgan Pierce b. 1823 MO d. March 13, 1885 Lincoln Co.,MO. He married Martha Jane Hines on Nov. 1, 1846 in Lincoln Co.,MO. Morgan and Martha's children were: 1.) Matilda b. 1849 MO m. ? (maybe in Arkansas) 2.) John Robert b. 1855 MO m. Chassidy Funk? (a relative says she was told that they resided in St. Charles Co., MO?) 3.) Flora Ann b. 1858 MO d. 1921 MO m. Willis Franklin "Dock" Jamerson Feb. 11,1875 Lincoln County, MO. Ch: Green Montgomery, Lula Jane, John Morgan, Ira Russell (my grandpa), Lenora "Nora" Maybell, James Presley (died 1 yr. old). [Flora & Willis are my Great Grandparents] 4.) M.T. "Bud" b. Apr. 1860 Scott Co.,Ark. m.? d.? 5.) Mary b. c. 1862 m. ________ Smith ? (maybe stayed in Arkansas)d.? 6.) Lydia Francis b. 1867 Scott Co.,Ark. d. 1917 OK m. 1. Bernard Patrick Flanagan Jan. 10,1884 Lincoln Co.,MO 2. Jesse Hamilton (in Ark. or OK) ch.: David Lincoln Hamilton 7. Salvader Theodore "Vade" b. July 24,1871 MO d. May 23,1947 MO m. Rilla Jane Powelson Jeffries ch: Paul Jeffries (step-son), Hattie Leo Florence. 8.) According to my Grandma there was also a daughter named Martha, I would assume she was born between Mary and Lydia if she was at all. But, my grandma didn't mention a Matilda, so this may be the one she called Martha. A distant cousin said that Mary married a Smith, John married a Chassidy Funk, although I've never been able to find them anywhere. I have no idea who Matilda married. I know that Matilda, Mary, and if there was a Martha never married in Lincoln County, MO. Morgan moved his family from Lincoln Co.,MO to Scott Co.,Ark. by 1860, about 1859. He appears on the 1860 census in Scott County, Ark. as follows: (Morgan's name is spelled wrong on this census, it should read Pierce, but the censustaker wrote it as Price) 1860 Scott Co.,Ark. Census page 823 891/886 Price, Morgan 38 M Farmer /$150 MO Price, M.J. 27 F MO (This is Martha Jane, and should be 32 yrs. old) Price, Matilda 10 F MO Price, John 5 M MO Price, F.A. 2 F MO (This is my Great Grandma, Flora Ann, b. 1858 MO) Price, M.T. 6/12 M MO (Born in March, 1860. I believe that this is probably Bud that my Grandma told me of, probably Morgan, Jr. since they called him Bud) (Mary, Lydia, and Vade were not born yet) I have not been able to find Morgan on an 1870 census, but he is in the Lincoln County, MO Tax book for 1870, so maybe showed up after the census was taken there and was missed. Vade was born in Lincoln Co. in July 1871, so I know they were back there by then.) Any help in locating information on the children Matilda, John, "Bud" (I'm assuming his real name was Morgan), Mary, or Martha would be appreciated. I do know that some of the children of these were living in Arkansas as I have three photos of two nieces of my G Grandma Flora's with their husbands and children. The pictures only say nieces of Grandma Jamerson in Arkansas. These can be viewed on the Scott County, Arkansas website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arscott/scott.htm and scroll down to Unidentified Photos and check them out. There are 4 photos to look at 3 of Grandma Jamerson's nieces and one of baby Troy. Please let me know if you recognize any of them. Morgan had moved his family to Arkansas about 1858. He served in the confederate army in Dawson's 19th out of Scott County, Arkansas 1862. He only served a year. Morgan moved his family back to Missouri by July 1871 as their son Vade was born in MO in that month. Morgan's wife Martha died in about 1872. Morgan died in Lincoln County, MO on March 13,1885. Right now I'm trying to prove whether or not Morgan was the son of William Richard Pierce & his wife Matilda of Linn County, Missouri. If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know. Thanks so much! Patty

I am looking for information on this Greene Co., TN family line: 1) George Deatherage & Nancy Johnson 2) Bird Deatherage & Sarah English 3) John E. Deatherage & Agnes English 4) Bird Deatherage & Mary Ann Baxter 5) William R. Deatherage & Rebecca J. Pierce My problem is that I have received a copy of a Death Certificate for William R. listing his parents as Jackson Deatherage and Polly Baxter. I can find no information on these names and very little on the children of Bird and Mary. My information shows Bird Deatherage (Jackson) as being born in 1826. Mary Ann Baxter born in 1829. They were married Oct. 12, 1847. William R. Deatherage born Jan 14, 1860 , died May 1928 and Rebecca J. Pierce born 1866, died 1912. They were married in Greene Co, TN on Jan. 3 1886. Rebecca's parents are listed as Alexander Pierce b. July 16, 1844 and Agnes English b. Oct 23, 1846. Any help with these families will be greatly appreciated.

The only other bit of information I have on them is that they had a daughter named Sarah Pierce (1762) who married Joseph Addleman (1765). I need his parents and birth/death dates and place. I believe he lived in Chester Co, PA area. Thank you, Sandra

My mother was Dorothy Mae Pierce. My Pierce line so far as I can track it begins with Ephraim Pierce and my obvious interest is making connections with those who may find themselves in the same tree and/or have additional information. If she is on the list, I am also trying to locate Karen McEneaney Owen, who provided me with some information back in 1998 and whom I have not been able to locate since.

Hi, There is a fair amount of data indicating that the Pearce name comes from the Percy name. Some of my books say that Richard Percy made the change in 1500 and that was associated with the founding of Pearce Hall. I haven't run across anything clearly saying where the Pierce spelling came from. Does The Collective have any good information on this?? WWP Linda & Warren Pearce Colorado Springs CO 80919-4821

I have the following Pierce/Peirce ancestors: Stephen Pierce b. 1759 d 6-2-1832 m. Susannah Thetford b. 1-8-1760 d. 4-18-1835 (they were reported to have come from Wales but no proof of that) Children of Stephen and Susannah (that I know of): Caleb b. 9-11-1788 m Elizabeth Hieatt b. 1-5-1798 d. 12-20-1848 Aholiab b. 3-5-1801 d. 1-23-1853 m. Elizabeth Hieatt Pierce (his brother Caleb's widow) Caleb and Elizabeth had 3 children and Aholiab and Elizabeth had 3 children. My ancestor was Susannah Thetford Pierce (daughter of Aholiab and Elizabeth Hieatt Pierce Pierce) who married Garrett Perrine Sullivan. Caleb, Aholiab, Elizabeth and their children all lived in Mason County, Ky. I am not sure if Stephen and Susannah ever lived in Kentucky. Any help will be appreciated. The name was spelled Peirce in the family Bible most of the time with Pierce occasionally. Anne in KY

One correction. The PIERCES I am after lived in Van Buren, AR but that is now in Crawford County, AR. I also believe the DIBBLE I listed was instead, DIBRELL based upon my research of this counties archives. A General. H. A.

Good evening, I have somewhat of a mystery concerning the ancestors of William James PIERCE (or PEIRCE 1868-1910) who married my aunt, Mary C. RICHTER (1876-1906) in 1900. I have a copy of his obituary as printed in the "Madisonian," the newspaper of Madison, Morgan County, GA. Here is what I know about him. 1. He grew up in Oxford, MS. 2. He had a brother named the Hon. Edward B. PEIRCE who in 1910 was a VP of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad and lived in Chicago, IL. 3. He had a sister who lived with his mother in Van Buren, AR in 1900.. 4. His father was dead by 1910 and his mother had married a Mr. DIBBLE and they lived in Van Buren, AR in 1910. 5. He had an uncle named Edward D. PEIRCE who lived in Hattiesburg, MS in 1910. 6. He married my aunt, Mary C. RICHTER in Madison, GA in 1900. She died in 1906 in Godfrey, Morgan County, GA and was buried in the Richter family lot in the Madison City Cemetery. They had no children. . 7. He worked for the S. A. TURNELL Company in Madison, GA as an accountant in 1910. 8. He died in Rochester, MN in 1910 9. His body was returned to Madison, GA by his brother in his private railroad car and was buried with his late wife in the John C. RICHTER Family lot in the Madison City Cemetery. If any of this sounds familiar to you, I would like to hear from you. Thanks, in advance.. John R.

What we the volunteers will be doing is researching all of the Pierce's (all spellings) and extracting vital records and census info as well as anything else we can find that references Pierce's and posting the info at the appropriate website. We are still ironing out all of the "bugs" and still figuring out the ground rules so things are a bit hectic still, but getting much better! If you visit The Pierce Resource Center and click on The Pierce Project button there will be a listing of the teams and the geographical area that they cover. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pierces/teams.html/ > Also view the wonderful Pierce Resource Center at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pierces/ResourceCenter.html. > This is a volunteer project only and the volunteers will only spend the amount of time that they can spare at the research. This may mean only an hr or 2, here and there. This is meant as a long term project, and no quick fixes. The teams will not be doing query look ups for individuals. If you are interested in Pierces in a specific area, then check that teams web site often to see if there is a clue for you there. > > The PIERCE discussion list encourges LONG (as in BIG) posts of ALL kinds. In addition to normal queries - you can post census, birth, marriage, death and cemetery indexes. Post lists with dates of your PIERCEs (of any spelling) and anything that will help us build a huge PIERCE research database. > HOW TO POST A MESSAGE TO THE PIERCE LIST: > mailto: PIERCE-L@rootsweb.com > subject: PIERCE that you are researching, etc. > body: Any information that pertains to your subject.

Saluda J. DICKEY or DICKEY married Peter McBride PEARCE in 1862. I believe they lived in the Mifflin, Henderson County, Tennessee until around 1870. They had 2 children: Jerry Newman PEARCE (b 13 May 1863, d 3 October 1930 in N. E. Arkansas) and Richard Haynes PEARCE (b 2 December 1865, d 13 March 1907 in N. E. Arkansas). The family folk lore is that Saluda was a Cherokee Indian and that Peter abandoned Saluda and moved to Arkansas where he married Rebecca Deliah CASE in 1872 had 7 more children. Does anyone have any information on Saluda and her relationship to Peter?? I have lots of data on Peter and his family. Warren Pearce Linda & Warren Pearce Colorado Springs CO 80919-4821

Dear Karen, Think I have a match. John was the son of William Aaron Pierce and Martha "Patty" Perkins. John was one of nine children: Ruth, Joseph b.1814, William, Malinda, Mary Jane, Minerva, John b. 1801, Aaron b.1814, and Ebenezer b. 1827. Besides your listed children for John and Martha I have Amanda b. 1830. Let me know what you think about the possibility of these being the same folks, and I'll give you what else I have. An also Karen, Karen Smith
