(Note: Stone county is is located on the west next door to Independence County) John Dooley Kirkland's family was living in Independence County.

James Tyre Pierce married Florence Della Kirkland on February 19, 1892 in Arkansas. On the Independence County AR Marriage Index posted on the Internet there is a James T. Pierce that married in Independence County, but there was no names mattching Florence Della Kirkland. There was a Della Knight listed. Might be a mistake in the index when it was being created by the webmaster.

James Tyre Pierce born July 11, 1866 and Florence Della Kirkland was born June 04, 1873 according to their family Bible.

Any information on the Pierce family would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Renee Smelley
