Am just now seeing your response to my earlier Carter query. My supposition is that Sarah Pew Myers is listed as Sarah Carter in her father's will because she had married Isaac Carter by the time the will was written. I would love to exchange information. billron@bellsouth.net

George Pearce and Matilda Matty Harris 6/30/1797 Georga & Matilda had there frist child Jeamiah Pearce 1827. and last child Demaris 1840. They had six children . 1827-1797=30 . So Matilda was 30 years old when she had her frist child? If this is wrong please let me know?
Thanks Lee

George Pierce / Pearce

MarciaMcClure — 2009-10-12 15:33:09Z

I believe that George was the son of Lewis and Ann Wooten Pierce. Lewis was a Revolutionary War soldier. George's wife was Matilda Harris, daughter of James or William Harris and Sarah Heath. Matilda's sister Mary Woods Harris married George's half brother Joel Pierce.

It was Virginia Jane who married George Young, not Delia. He was Delia's father.

Here is an interesting source that I found. The things in () are my notes.

MS Cemetery and Bible records
Original owner William Harris, Newton Co., Ms
Children listed were:

Mary Woods Harris born June --, 1788. (wife of Joel Pierce)

Jeremiah Harris born April 13, 1804.
Jenny Harris born Sept. 9, 1806.
James Harris born Feb. 25, 1809.
In the back of the bible on another sheet was this record.

David Pierce born the 12th of Oct 1805.(this may be the oldest child of Joel's brother Thomas. See his 1820 census)

yonkak — 2009-06-07 14:28:11Z

They were all pretty good memories from back then. After Lonnie was killed my father (Delbert J. McNally) was never quite the same. I always wonder how life would have gone if Lonnie lived and made the rise to fame like Hank Williams. Oh well, life gone by.

Thanks for posting a reply to my posting. I have been unable to place Samuel James Clark and his family with any other Clarks in the area. There were several Clarks in Wayne county that I suspected might be related to the Perry county Clarks. My hunch was that the Perry county Clarks were Indian.

Hello

I have an isiaah Taylor who left UK for Ameria in 1874. It isn't a common name over here but not sure if this is the right one but i believe he may have lived in Missouri where his brother Thomas settled.

Please get in touch if this means anything to you.

Goto www.findagrave.com and search for him by name.
I have created a memorial for him there with his tombstone photos and a short bio I compiled from a couple of music history sites. Memorials for his parents are also there. They are buried beside him.

How old is your half brother? Where did you grow up? That would make your half brother my mom's half brother.

Re: Lonnie Barron or Barron Family

BrettB20 — 2009-06-07 03:47:29Z

That was David's mothers name (Ella). From what I've just learned he was born about 2 years before my mother.

Edna Guntner is my Grandmother and she was about 3 weeks pregnant with my mother (Barbara) when Lonnie was killed. That is interesting that they all practiced at your house, what a memory. A few folks up around that area have good stories to share, thank you.

Re: Lonnie Barron or Barron Family

BrettB20 — 2009-06-03 14:25:20Z

My mom was his other daughter, Barbara, she died when she was 30 in '87 I'm 30 now, and I've met either Tom or James when I was little and I've seen Allen (his other brother) numerous times in Tenn. Interesting, never knew Lonnie had other children.

Re: Lonnie Barron or Barron Family

BrettB20 — 2009-04-22 22:18:38Z

Who is your mother and father? My mother was Lonnie's only child as far as I knew, and he died shortly thereafter. What is your email?

This applies to all the Carter researchers. I am researching my daughter-in-laws tree as a surprise gift to her. Asa Roberson Carter was her g grandfather.
I would love to gather information including copies of any documentation. I would be glad to pay for the copies and postage or if they could be scanned and sent by e-mail that would work for me also. Whatever is best for the sender.
I have not been able to find the family (Green et.al) in 1870. I am sure I am just missing them but does anyone know where they were?
Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Hiram & Permelia/Pamela Hardin-Marion Co. MS 1838

gaprice130 — 2008-12-09 03:06:49Z

I am a native of Marion County MS and am interested in all aspects of the history of that area of south MS. Today at the MS archives I found documentation about one Hiram Hardin. He was convicted of murder in the death of his wife Pamela/Permelia. A petition was sent to the governor in which Hiram described in detail the events that led to the death of his wife and requested a pardon from the governor to spare him from his sentence to the gallows. In summary, after a night of drinking (19 December 1837) with 2 friends he claimed he unintentionally stabbed his wife in the arm. She lost a substantial amount of blood and died of gangrene after 9 days. His 2 year old child is also discussed in the documents but is not named. The execution was scheduled for Friday 12 April 1839. A petition in favor of leniency was signed by numerous individuals including most members of the jury that convicted him of murder, and others including my 2nd g-grandfather Jackson Hammond and my 3rd-g-grandfather Benjamin Hammond. Another petition signed by a number of local business men opposed a pardon. The decision of the governor could probably be found with further research. I will transcribe the documents and post them to this site for the benefit of those who are researching the Hardin family.

My father was the lead guitar player for Lonnie at the time of his death. He practiced at our house many nights. I remember the night he died like it was yesterday. It was rumored that he did have a child out of wedlock but I'm not certain when. What was the name of your mothers mother?
