MORGAN COUNTY PIERCE connections: I have two Morgan County, Indiana
Pierce connections. My ggg grandmother was Anna (Pierce) Bailey (born
about 1786 in NC, died 17 August, 1851 in Morgan Co, In), wife of
Benjamine Bailey. They were married 13 May, 1803 in Wilke Co, NC and
lived in Floyd County, Ky in the early 1800s. Anna showed up in Morgan
County, In by 1830 as a single woman with her children. Her son Allison
Bailey married Matilda Pierce, the daughter of Andrew Pierce of Johnson
and Hendricks County, In (Andrew, My ggg grandfather was born about
1790/1800 and died about may 1833 in Hendricks County, In) in Johnson
County, In on 27 November, 1857 (this was both of their second
marriages). They moved to Crawford County, Illinois about 1860 where
they both died, she about March 1866 in childbirth and he about June
1867. Anna (Pierce) Bailey is buried in the Thompson Cemetery in Greene
Township, Morgan County. I suspect that Anna and Andrew were related in
some way since Matilda ended up in Greene Township following the death
of her first husband (she lived in Hendricks County with him and her
Brother in 1850). I would like to hear from any other researchers who
are interested in these people. David Phillips
