Looking to prove that the parents of my GG Grandfather Morgan Pierce were William Richard Pierce and Mathilda Pierce of Linn County, Missouri. Morgan was born in 1823 in MO. He married Martha Jane Hines (dau. of Thomas Hines and Nancy McBride)on Nov. 1,1846 in Lincoln County, MO. Morgan died March 13,1885 in Lincoln County, 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.F. (or 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. 1884 Lincoln Co.,MO 2. Jesse Hamilton (in Ark.?) 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. 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 two photos of nieces of my G Grandma Flora's with their husbands and children. The pictures only say nieces of Grandma Jamerson in Arkansas. 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. What connection does Morgan Pierce have with Daniel and George Pierce (they were brothers) of Lincoln County? Were they his uncles? Any help is appreciated. Patty
