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. PIERCE of Crawford County, AR may have some relationship to this family since he is the only PIERCE listed in their historical index. John R.
