I did find Effie McGill in the 1900 census; living with an Aunt and Uncle in Kansas:
1900 Kansas, Hodgeman Cnty, Sterling Twp, T623-482, Pg 219a:
Bandy, Frances M Hd Mch 1838-62 Md 40y IN VA VA
Eliza Wife Oct 1837-62 Md 40 No children IN NC KY
Frank M. Nephew July 1873-26 IN IN IN Farmer
McGill, Effie Niece Nov 1883-16 IN IN IN
This would be Eliza M. McGill md Francis M Bandy
Dec 23, 1858; Putnam Cnty, 2, 430
The way the census taker wrote this, it does appear that Frank M. is a Bandy. Now, given
the age of Eliza McGill, she COULD be Pierce's aunt and Effie's great-aunt. The
one census where I found Pierce indicates he was born about 1854 so he would be 17 years
younger than Eliza; it is possible.
