~ Pierce Mothershead Family Ties ~

William Mothershead & Lucy Long

Please bear in mind, that all information, though I have verified as much as possible with my own research, is always susceptible to errors. I will cite sources for my information where possible.

If you're a long-lost cousin, old family friend, would like to share information, photos, or just swap tall tales, we'd love to hear from you. Please be sure to reference genealogy in your subject line. I automatically delete email from screen names I don't know without ever opening it!

Please Note: These are William and Lucy's children as known through the probate of William's estate starting in 1828 in Jefferson County MO. Since William died Intestate and Lucy is not mentioned as either his widow or an heir, she predeceased him. Six of their children were still alive in 1828-33 when the estate was probated; two of their daughters died prior to William's death since we have record of their marriages but they are not listed as heirs. The birth order is not correct; we'll try to correct that later.
