<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 54299, member: 44"]I just did a quick search on the name M.C. Pierson. Surprise, surprise, I found one in Louisiana in the right timeframe. It was a Mary Catherine Pierson/ Mary C. Pierson of LA. Her name is in a Collection of papers at Tulane University, New Orleans, LA dating from 1803 to 1906 with the predominent dates 1840 to the 1894. The listed contents of the collection pertaining to Pierson appear to be letters to and from Mary C. Pierson with her brothers in the war with written correspondance to their father Wm. Pierson. In at least one instance she is referred to as M.C. Pierson. Some of the documents are signed by her; however, no images of the documents or letters are shown. Sooooo can't tell if the MC Piersons are one and the same. The surname Pierson is not an unusual southern surname. I personally know at least 5 Tennessee Piersons.
