Notes:

                   Mary Thomas named her son born 1866 Arthur Ernest Pierce born. Ira Pierce, Mary's first husband, died during a Civil War battle in 1863. She married Cornelius Cadwell in 1864. This was n ot a successful happy marriage. Cornelius Cadwell was married at the time of his marriage to Mary Thomas. As the marriage was not legal, Mary tried to have restored the Civil War pension that she had received prior to her marriage to Cornelius Cadwell. In the pension file there are affidavits that Cadwell had spent all Mary's money and had deserted her. Possibly Mary was very bitter after this experience and did not want her son to carry the Cadwell name. The death certificate of Arthur Ernest Pierce lists his father as Ira Pierce and mother as Mary Thomas.
