"James Perry Pearce was 24 when he married Elizabeth Humphries, age 16. Three years later they successfully bore twins, Harrison Pearce and Harriet Pearce. They were born on Dec 17, 1818 in Jackson, Butts, Georgia. They bore another child, Minerva (1820), before they moved to the Humphries old homestead in Alabama around 1823. The couple's marriage only lasted twelve years, enough time for him to give Elizabeth three more children: Zebulon (1823), James Perry (1825), and Abigail Margaret Pearce (1827) and witness the removal of the Indians. Shortly after the birth of his daughter, Dec 12, 1827, at age 36, James Perry Pearce died in Marion, Perry, AL. He left behind his very young wife of 28 years and their six children. Harrison Pearce was nine when his father died in Marion, Perry, AL."
