Mr. PIERCE & Nancy HINSON

Diana, Goddess of the Hunt — for Ancestors!

Mr. PIERCE
Nancy HINSON

WARNING: Consider this page highly tentative. I've assumed Nancy is the mother of Barton and Julia Ann, but this may not be the case. I've also interpreted a secondary source to mean that HINSON was Nancy's maiden name, but it could be the surname of a second husband, between Mr. PIERCE and Henry TODD.

Husband: Mr. PIERCE / PEARCE

Marriage:

Wife: Nancy HINSON
Birth: 1816/7, KY or MO
Other Spouse: m2. 28 Nov 1847, Jefferson Co., MO, Henry Clay TODD

Children — born in IL or MO:

1. Bartlett / Barton A. PIERCE, b. 1841/2
2. Julia Ann PIERCE, b. 1842/3

3. 1860 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #32 of 35): Richwoods P.O., Big River Twp., Jefferson Co., MO, p. 690, PN 141, 1071/1061, enumerated 9 Aug 1860, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1860 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

It's hard to fathom this record. Surely this is the George STROUP who married Julia Ann PIERCE, sister of Bartlett/Barton PIERCE, in 1856. So, who is Mary?
