2. 1850 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #221 of 248): 20th Subdivision, Roane Co., TN, Roll M432_893, p. 432A, 1560/1612, enumerated 11 Nov 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

William R Pierce 24 M Tenn

Catharine " 23 F "

Missouria A " 4/12 F "

If the enumerator is correctly following the official enumeration date, Missouri was born in February; if he's following the actualy enumeration date, she was born in June/July.

3. 1860 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #16 of 41 — indexed "Durn"): Webster P.O., 16th Dist., Roane Co., TN, Roll M653_1269, p. 229A, PN 255, 1727/1785, enumerated 22 Aug 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Wm B Pearce 34 M Farming 300 Tenn

Catharine " 33 F "

Willis W " 13 M "

Katy      " 11 F "

Polly     " 8 F "

C         " 3 F "

Wm        " 8/12 M "

Missouri A " 15 F "

Willis should be only 9 years old, and Missouri should only be 10. The fact that Missouri is listed last suggests this Catharine is not her mother, and unless Willis's and Katy's ages are wrong, they're not William's children.

4. 1870 U.S. Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #6 of 20): Kingston P.O., Dist. 16., Roane Co., TN, Roll M593_1555, p. 513B, PN 6, 42/41, enumerated 6 Aug 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Missouri should only be 20; her future husband, Ruben DAVIS (æ 19, b. TN) is listed in the next household.
