>Looking for parents of James Pierce/Pearce born in Bedford County, VA >1765, died Scottsboro, AL 1838. He was supposed to have "gone south with >the McCoys" and he shows a land purchase in AL, but his sons Allen and >Hiram were said to have come from GA. James married Martha Selah Bartlett >in TN and Allen's son was named Nicholas Bartlett Pearce after his >paternal grandfather. Allen was born in VA in 1797 and married Mary "Polly >Morse" in 1824 in Princeton, KY. He died there and is buried in the Crider >Cemetery along with his wife. Scottsboro, AL is right on the Georgia >border and I'm surmising that the boundary moved...? James was at one time >reported to be the son of Jeremiah and Deborah Brower Pearce/Pierce but >this has been refuted. Any help would be appreciated. Barbara Leland http://home.surewest.net/beejay
