W. C. Pierson, b. Dec 6 1850, LA. Family moved to AR in 1868, or there-a-bouts. In his mother's h/h in 1870 census. Md. Margaret Copeland in 1871, had a son Fieldrick(s) ca 1879. Margaret & son in 1880 census, she was listed as a boarder/ housekeeper. There is no marking in the married/widowed box. In 1900 she has remarried. That census is the ONLY doc. we can find with Fieldrick in it. No death record or burial site found for him, no other census or mil. report on him.
So at some point between 1879/80 is when W. C. disappeared from the picture. Have been unable to locate him since his marriage record in 1871.
Sure do appreciate all your help in this.
