    Notes:

    The Death Certificate of Alfred B Back gives Wellington (Menifee Co) Kentucky as the birth place of parents, Benjamin Back and Sarah Wells. This may be more acurate than the information I have of Breathitt County based upon census records. Verify that Menifee County existed in 1843 and whether it was formed from a portion of Breathitt County which is the birth place I have had on record for a long time.

    Birth:
    Birth records of twins, Alfred and John, state that Benjamin was born in Letcher County, Kentucky. The death record of John Back gives the same information.

    Morgan County

    Death: Aug. 6, 1929
    Flippin
    Marion County
    Arkansas, USA

    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.

    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.
