I'm looking for information on Thomas J. Pierce born KY (father born KY, mother born SC). I believe his first wife must have died in KY. By 1870 Thomas J. Pierce age 48 resides in Barry County, MO, Shoal Creek TWP. PIERCE, T. J. 48 KY Louisa 35 AR John A. 9 AR Catharine 6 MO Mary F. 4 MO Rachel 15 KY James M. 21 KY Catharine 24 IN (maiden name RYAN, reared by LEWELLEN relatives Delaware County, Indiana) Alice 1 MO A Thomas J. Pierce married Louisa Lee September 8, 1859, in Barry County, MO. Louisa may be second wife. 1880 Barry County, MO PIERCE, Thomas J. KY KY SC Louisa AR TN TN John A. AR KY AR Catharine MO KY AR Mary MO KY AR Louisa MO KY AR James Pierce and wife Catherine Ryan are in AR by 1880. (Izard Co. and Independence Co., AR) Thomas J. Pierce is my brick wall. Surely there's someone searching for his offspring: John A. PIERCE, Catharine PIERCE, Mary PIERCE, Louisa PIERCE. Thanks, Gene Johnson
