    Andrew served with the Union Army during the Civil War (1862-1864).

    On his death certificate, his date of birth is listed as January 4, 1835.

    He was the youngest of 10 children born to Jacob and Barbara Ellen (Sagaser) Pierce.

    John Pierce
    Ellen Pierce

    Martha Patsey Pierce Wells (1829-1894)
    Nancy Pierce McClain(1831-?)
    Sarah Pierce McGuire (1832-1874)

    According to the 1910 Arkansas Census, Andrew was married 3 times. I only know of Mary Ann Adams (married 1859) and Margaret Lucinda Crawford (married 1890), so I'm guessing the marriage in question took place before 1859.
