Dr. Dunklin Wathin Pierce, son of John May Pierce and Ann Elizabeth "Lizzie" Dunklin. Paul Chilton is his grandson.
From COLLIRENE: THE QUEEN HILL:
He went to the Medical College of Charleston, South Carolina. When his father's estate was finally settled in 1860, he was recorded as living in Smith County, Mississippi. It was there that he met and married Mildred (Minnie) Woods of Kentucky. By the outbreak of the Civil War, he and Mildred were living in Benton, Alabama, where he was practicing his profession. It is likely that he returned from Mississippi to fill the need for another doctor in Benton caused by the death of Dr. Isaac Lyon in 1860.
His and Mildred's only child, Mabel Cecilia, was born January 18, 1862, in Collirene. Four months later, May 16, 1862, Dunklin went to Selma and enlisted in the Forty-fourth Alabama Infantry Regiment. He was recorded as being married, five feet eight inches tall, twenty-five years of age, and as having blue eyes, dark hair, and a dark complexion. He served as a private until promoted to assistant surgeon in April 1863.
After the War he formed a little medical group in Benton. His cousin, Edwin Faust Pierce, was the dentist; his brother, William, the pharmacist; and he, the medical doctor. Sometime after 1883 Dunklin moved his little family to Montgomery where he practiced medicine. Dunklin died November 15, 1890; Mildred, October 14, 1921. They were buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Montgomery.
