Noted (in the entries re: James Watts) there is a reference to a "Pierson letter" . Rachel Pierson Brown who was from the Carolias and lived at Saline "Brown town" LA. Wondering if you have information about the "Pierson: letter". I am just starting genealogy and appreciate help. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe Pierson letter came from the book below. I looked in the index for Rachel Brown and for Rachel Pierson but did not see her in the book. The book contains a large collection of letters written during the Civil War.
