Loretta Pierce 1815 NC - 1865 IN mar. Reuben Mathis
Hi!I am looking for information about Loretta Pierce who married Reuben Mathis.She was born about 1815 in North Carolina (most likely Surry County).She died about 1865 in Brown County, Indiana.
I recently discovered (while looking through probate records) that her father was my 5th Great-Grandfather, John Alexander Pierce 1779 - 1842.She is listed as one of John's kids by the first marriage:Sarah 1794, Rachel 1799, Benjamin 1800, James H. 1801, George Dec. 06, 1802, Thomas 1807, Johnathan 1809, Pheraby 1810, Nancy 1813, Loretta 1815.She also had three half siblings:John Alexander 1835, Melinda Elizabeth 1837, and Editha Indiana 1839.
John was a Rifleman in Captain Benjamin Forsyth's Company, U.S. Rifles, War of 1812.
I am interested in finding living cousins and the possibility of older records.
Thanks, Jonathan Pierce
