This is the only information that I have for the 1900 Indepencence Census. I don't have all the transcript because it was sent to me from another Pierce decendant.
I have a 1900 census from Independence County, AR for
F.M. Pierce born Jan 1835 (age 65) Georgia.
Wife, Carline, born July 1846 (age 53) Georgia 12 children, 7 still living in 1900.
On this census the children listed are: Ider, Rutha, Alexander, Paralea all born in Arkansas.
If they were boarding anyone in 1900 then I don't have that part of the census.
