My oldest Pierce is my GG Grandpa Morgan Pierce b. 1823 MO d. March 13, 1885 Lincoln County, MO. He married Martha Jane Hines Nov. 1, 1846 in Lincoln County, MO.

Rilla Jane Powelson Jeffries I need information on the families of Matilda, John, Bud, Mary & Lydia. I know that some of these children stayed in Arkansas. I do know that Lydia had one son named David Lincoln Hamilton, and that she died in Oklahoma some where in 1917. Pictures of my Great Grandma Flora's nieces (daughter's of her sister, which one or ones I don't know), can be found at the Scott County, Arkansas website at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~arscott/scott.htm> http://www.rootsweb.com/~arscott/scott.htm . Scroll down to "Unidentified Pictures, Can You Help?" If you have any Arkansas connections, please take a look at those. I'd like to find out who these nieces were and put names to these pictures. Thanks for any help! :) Patty (Jamerson) Archer
