they were cousins
by marriage (2 ways) and were neighbors. It covers lot of the early

of Hansford County and time during which the Pierces and Wilbanks
moved from Johnson County TX to Hansford County TX in 1903-1906.
Rhoda Pierce (LD Pierce's sister) married Allen Mansel Wilbanks.
Allen Mansel was a son of Hiram Wilbanks and Permelia Hale

The Story of Aunt Rhoda Pierce Wilbanks Written Susan Pierce Dacus Allen 1940 This reprint begins with the start of the manuscript. I have not yet got the Title Page, Preface, etc scanned yet: Editor LD Pierce Feb 22 2000 Other Note: Although this is a great document from a historical standpoint, it does not answer some questions I would like to verify. For example on page one she does not name Andrew Jackson Pierces father, which is unfortunate. She also does not mention her mother by name or anything about her family. On page two she talks about four brothers two of which came back from the war and two that died in the war......She does not name them either. I am positive that Clem A and Geo W Pierce were the sons which came back from the war. I know one son John R Pierce was killed in the war. This document does not solve the question of which other son was killed in the war. Also it does not address the question of any of LD Pierce's (Peg Leg) sons getting killed and thrown down the well at the pierce ranch (as mentioned in the Johnson County History Book), She does talk quite a lot about her sister Nan. This would be the Nancy Pierce who married James Madison Conn and moved to the Duncan Oklahoma area. I am in contact with their descendants. All through the document where the brother L. is mentioned, this is my great grandfather LD Pierce Sr. (PegLeg). Editor LD Pierce Feb 22 2000

I am confused
regarding Rhoda Pierce Wilbanks true birth date:
The cemetery stone lists her birth date as year 1862,
The Biographies in the Hansford County History Book written by her family
also list birth date as 1862. But Her Biography as interview
by Susan Pierce Dacus states her birth date as 1860. This supposedly
was written from her own words. Another question is that of her
death date
which is shown as November 25, 1941 In her biography in the Hansford County TX
History Book.
The stone shows death date of Jan 25, 1941.
Which is correct?? I will soon begin trying to obtain
the birth certificates for all of Capt. Andre Jackson Pierce's Children.
