Many thanks to all the good folks who responded offering help finding information about my late husband's ancestors. It makes me feel that we on this Pierce list are just a lot of good friends whom we haven't met in person yet. I can trace back only to my late husband's grandfather, Timothy Jeheu PIERCE, born 1865 maybe in Birmingham, Alabama (or probably Mt. Pinson, Alabama ). He died about 1904 in Mt. Pinson, Jefferson, Alabama. Timothy Jehue PIERCE married Irene Tibatha McClendon who died about 1929 in Birmingham, Jefferson, Alabama. They had 9 children: Fred PIERCE born 1888 in Mt. Pinson, Alabama ******Timothy Orea PIERCE born 1890 probably Mt. Pinson, AL, and died 1952 in Birmingham, Alabama. This is my late husband's father.****** Ora PIERCE FOWLER born 1892 and died after 1951 in Mt.
