Regarding your entry; - ----------------------------------- 41. ABEL7 PEARCE (Jonathan6, Isaacs5, Jeptha 4, George 3. George2, Richard1), born in LC 29 June 1834. He married first 27 Sept. 1865 FANNY LACY, born 5 Feb. 1839, died in December 1870. He married second in October 1875 HARRIET JAMES. He became a Texas rancher, well known as "Shanghai" Pierce of Pierce Station, Texas. Children: i. Mamie F., b. 19 July 1867. 42. JONATHAN7 PEARCE (Jonathan6, Isaacs5, Jeptha4, George3, George2, Richard1), born in LC 6 Dec. 1839. He married 2 May 1866 NANNIE LACY, born 11 Aug. 1845. Residence: Dennings Bridge, Metagoda County, Texas. where he owned a very large tract of land. Children i. Jonathan P., b. 5 Nov. 1868. ii. Pearl, b. 26 Dec. 1873. iii. Abel, b. 4 Dec. 1875. iv. Grace. b. 1 Sept. 1879. - ----------------------------------------------- County name is Matagorda. Able and Jonathan were both responsible for a large cattle business at Pierce Station (Pierce, TX). As I understand it from the decendents there, Jonathan had a number of children (sorry no research). Enough that his house eventually became a small hotel and, I think, is a restuarant today. They were responsible for intriducing Rose-of-Sharon in TX as a natural fence/barrier and were responsible for bringin Brama cattle to the US. -Lane ----- Original Message ----- From: Warren Pearce <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 13, 1999 7:11 PM Subject: [PIERCE-L] Little Compton Pearce Records #5 - END > > 36.
