• Notes

  !NOTES:Janet Mathis: sister5838@aol.com and her mother Betty Pierce Hobbs are interested in this family. They descend from son Gus Pierce. I wasn't aware of him until Janet wrote me in Nov 2012. His D/C shows William & Sophronia to be his parents. He wasn't listed with family in 1870, and family is missing in 1880. He married in 1899 in Fannin Co., GA.; !NOTES:B/D & D/D from T/S.
