Thanks for the reply Floyd. As far as I have been able to find out, the only Joshua Pierce I can find any record of prior to 1884 is the following entry in the 1870 Campbell County Census: Nbr. Name Age POB 41-38 Pearce, James 70 VA Precilla 46 NC John 9 TN Thomas 7 TN James 4 TN Joshua 2 TN 1870 - 2 = 1868. My Joshua was born about Sept. 1867. This could be him, but I have no way of knowing for sure. > I'm not sure, but it sound like you could be descended from my ancestor, > Austin Rucker and his son Austin L. Rucker. Austin L. Rucker had a daughter > Sarah who married John Pierce. Could they be the parents of your Joshua > Pierce?
