The following are the children of Peter and Margaret as they each appear for the first time in census records. Thomas was born in Claiborne County; John, James Clinton, Jacob and Enoch/Eneas were born in either Claiborne or Campbell County; and Robert, Elizabeth, William, Peter and Alice were born in Campbell County:
1840 Thomas 1 male -5
1850: John 9, James 7, Christon R. (Clinton R.) 5, Jacob 3, Enoch 1
1860: Eneas 10, Robert L. 8, Elisabeth 6, William 4, Peter 3
1870: Alace 5
Thus, the names of their eleven children were Thomas, John, James, Clinton, Jacob, Enoch/Eneas, Robert, Elizabeth, William, Peter and Alice.
In addition to their children whose memorials have been linked below, we do not know the burial locations for the following children:
1st Child: Thomas was the first born of Peter and Margaret Pierce. From his military file we learn that he was born in 1838. He followed Peter into service with Union forces in the War of the Rebellion. At the age of 23 Thomas enlisted in 1st Tennessee Infantry, Company B. He mustered in as a private and out as a corporal. Although Thomas survived the war, he was in and out of the hospital during service and was offered an early discharge due to his disability, which he refused. He was discharged with his regiment at he end of the War. Thomas died on January 20, 1885, due to recurring bouts with the measles. He left a widow, Emaline Norton Pierce, and their children, Peter born 1860 and Sarah born 1862.
3rd Child: James was the third son, born about 1843. He was 18 years old and single when he enlisted with his father and brothers in 1st Tennessee Infantry, Company B. His military file indicates he mustered out with his regiment. He was not in the 1870 Campbell County census.
6th Child: I believe Enoch/Eneas to be the same person born about 1849. He was not in the 1870 Campbell County census. I do not know if he had died by 1870 or, he was certainly old enough at the approximate age of 20, if he had moved elsewhere.
8th Child: Elizabeth was born about 1854. She married James Franklin Crutchfield on November 15, 1877 in Campbell County. This was a second marriage for James as he had married Mary Ann Lawson on August 2, 1871. Elizabeth and James had five children:
Robert b. 1880. WWI registration of Bob Crutchfield of Campbell County born October 5, 1880. Parents Jim Crutchfield. Dated 9/12/1918;
Annie b. about 1882;
Amis Gipson b. 1886, Memorial 8751055;
Hiram 1889, Memorial 8153481; and
Martha Alice 1891, Memorial 94143527.
The last census Elizabeth was enumerated in was 1880 in Campbell County. J.F. Scritchfield married Mary Jane Weaver in Union County in 1897. The 1900 census indicates that they had been married three years. Elizabeth must have died sometime between the birth of Martha in 1891 and marriage of James in 1897.
9th Child: William born about 1857. He was not in the 1880 Campbell County census.
10th Child: Peter born about 1857. He married Rachel Emma Guthrie in Mercer, Illinois on March 30, 1876. They seemed to follow the travels of their older siblings, Jacob and Nancy (Guthrie) Pierce. They were always a little bit behind them, living in Mercer County, Illinois; Jewell County, Anderson County and Morris County, Kansas. In 1890 Peter and Jacob were in the California Voter’s Register, living about 100 miles apart. The last child of Peter and Emma was Bessie, born in 1891 in Nebraska. Peter was not with Emily in the 1895 Morris County, Kansas census. One can assume that he died sometime between 1890 and 1895. They had four other children in their marriage: William Laurence, James Frank, Sina M. and Sylvia Pearl.
Martha had 27 childbearing years: she was 21 when she had Thomas and 48 when she had Alice.

Gravesite Details
The cemetery is well cared for. The face of Margaret's stone is pretty well worn smooth by the elements. You can almost make out "Pierce" a little more than half-way down the closeup photo posted here.
