JACOB PIERCE was born in Greene County, Ind., and is a son of John and Frances
Pierce, natives of Kentucky and South Carolina.  John Pierce was born Janaury 31,
1797, and his wife, Frances, in 1801.  They were married in Kentucky, and moved
thence to Greene, and finally, in 1834, to Morgan County, Ind.  Here they remained
until their deaths, Mr. Pierce dying in 1883, and his wife preceding him in 1865.  
Their children were Nancy, Mary, Elizabeth, William John S., Eliza J., Jacob, Rachel,
Sarah, Angaletta, George, James M. and Jeriah.  Jacob Pierce, our subject, married,
in this county, on November 16, 1859, Catherine, daughter of Adam and Elizabeth
Flake.  She was born in Morgan County, Ind., on March 16, 1842.  After his marriage,
Mr. Pierce settled in Johnson County, where he purchased land, and remained for
about five years.  The family then moved to this county, and have lived here since.  To
this household were added ten children--George W. (deceased), Sarah A., John, Arrena
E., Cordelia (deceased), Thomas W., Cornelius, James, Oliver and Elmer.
