My gr-great grandfather was Theophilus Pierce. My great grandmother's obituary states he and his wife Betty(?) Ferguson were born in NC and came to Mississippi about 1850. They settled in Tishomingo Co. around Jackson's Camp. He was born in 1815 and died in 1911 in Itawamba Co. He enlisted in the 26th regiment of MS for the Confederates. His children were Bushrod(who went to Washington), Pedro(went to Texas), Robert(who went to Oklahoma), Lucinda, Fannie, and Amanda(my gr-grandmother).
I can't find any information on him before the 1870's after he had married Anna Yegear. Oral Family legend says he was part Cherokee. Any information would we appreciated.

Robert J. Pierce (John or Jerome) B. abt 1846-50 Ms., son of Theophilus, is my grt-grt-grandfather.He married Mary(Mollie) Mead, B. abt.1858 Mo, dau. of Benjamin Mead.I have more info on this family as well as Robert's brother, P.
