Wilson Jasper Pierce (son of Wilson Pierce and Nancy Barton). A.J. Pierce who married Mary C. Abercrombie is the son of John Calvin Pierce and Nancy Blackwell; John C. being the son of Sampson Pierce and Rachel Barnes. Archibald Pierce who married Lourica Jones is probably the son of John R. Pierce and Nancy J. Wimpy; John R. being the son of Andrew Jackson Pierce (a brother? to Sampson) and Nancy Abercrombie. C.D. Pierce (his name is Colonel Delona) who married Ona Champman is the son of A.J. Pierce and Mary C. Abercrombie (above). James Pierce who married Sallie Pitner is probably the son of Wilson Jasper Pierce and Letty Caroline Roberts; Wilson J. being the son of Wilson Pierce and Nancy Barton. N.H. Pierce (his name was Dr. Nathan Henry Pierce) who married Adah Jones was the son of Wilson Jasper Pierce and Letty Caroline Roberts; Wilson J. being the son of Wilson Pierce and Nancy Barton. The A.J. Pierce who married Mary Thomas in 1879 is a bit puzzling to me. I'm not sure who he was related to. My conjecture is that he may be the son of Andrew Jackson Pierce and Nancy Abercrombie, if their son A.J. remained in Georgia when they went to Texas in the 1860s. The rest of the names on your Lumpkin Co. list which I haven't mentioned are probably descendants of either Wilson Jasper Pierce and Letty Caroline Roberts who lived along the Etowah River NW of Dahlonega, or Sampson Pierce and Rachel Barnes who lived in Hall Co. just south of the Lumpkin Co. border near Wahoo Bapt. Church. The relationships I've shown with a question mark are based on my conclusion that the following three were brothers: Sampson Pierce (b.1804 SC) md. Rachel Barnes Wilson Pierce (b.1811 GA) md. Nancy Barton Andrew Jackson Pierce (b.1815 GA) md. Nancy Abercrombie Based on circumstantial evidence, it appears that these three were brothers and that their father was Reuben Pierce (b.1768 SC). However, no direct evidence has been found to prove these relationships. Reuben could have been the father, grandfather or uncle to any of them, meaning that the three could have been cousins or otherwise related. Dan Pierce Saugus, CA
