My oldest Pierce/Pearce I have on record is my g-g-grandfather William Pearce. He was born 1823 in or around the Tupelo, Mississippi area. He and his wife Mary had three children also born in are around the Tupelo, Mississippi area. James Joseph born 1843, Amanda born 1844, & Jacob born 1848. I have information on James because he was my g-grandfather but I have no other information on his brother & sister or his parents. I am still trying to confirm that his mother's last name was Fuquay and his grandfather's name was Hollett Pearce. If anyone knows of this family I hope to hear from you. Thanks for your help.
