Notes |
- Hattie was an orphan. Her father evidently died before she was born and her mother died either in childbirth or shortly thereafter. No one in the family has been able to learn the names of her parents. Hattie's last name has been spelled both as Pearce and as Pierce.
Her obituary states that she was "Christened," possibly indicating that her parents belonged to a Methodist Church. She was found living with the family of Ben Bryant in Baker County in 1860. Seven years later, she married Elijah A. J. Rich in Decatur County.
I am trying to locate tombstones, court records, news articles, or anything else that might leave a trail as to Hattie's ancestry. Please contact me if you have any information!
I found this cemetery listing at Oak City:
Pearce, Margaret Ann

Could this be Hattie's mother?
