Hey I am really not purposely filling you remail, but I found something interesting (just opened a can of worms, haven't worked on these families in quite some time seriously till I read your message).Your message showed John Louis Pearce having married Delilah.Could that be the same as the following:
John Louis Pierce, b. 1874, Shows up on the Morgan Co AL 1880 Census as the son of John Pierce, wife Millie?
I'm wondering because THAT John Louis Pierce has a sister named Lucinda Pierce who married Jasper May (believed to be Native American).Annie Lue May, their daughter, married William McVay Porter, the BROTHER to Delilah???
Annie was born 1892, William was born 1885.
Lucinda Pierce, b. 1865, her brother John Louis, b. 1874.
I have very little information on Lucinda and John's parents - except that they definitely used the name "PIERCE as opposed to PEARCE" in the 1800's.Of course, I'm looking entirely at census data due to a lack of available records for Franklin Co.
My attempt at "artwork"
John Pierce, wife Millie
----Dtr Lucinda marries Jasper May . . .
--------Annie Lue May marries -William McVay Porter
----Son John Louis marries-----Delila Porter
And of course, William and Delila are brother and sister.
Nothing like confusing life a little bit. :)
My one question is that somewhere (probably family records), I have Susie Porter (william and Delila's sister) as being the one who married the Pierce?I didn't have the guy's middle name, so don't know if it's the same John Pierce, or not.
BTW, Zonie/Zoney seems to be a definite PORTER name.It's my only family that has it.
