  • Notes 
    • John and his wife Rebecca appear in the 1850 Census in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.

      According to Rich Goms (richardandann@netzero.com), Rebecca's parents, James and Elizabeth Ashcom, joined the Baptist Church in Valparaiso in 1859. In 1885, after her divorce from John and her remarriage to James Pierce, the Valparaiso newspaper reported that J.D. Morris (of Kirkland, IL), son, and Carrie M. Pelton (of Louisville, KY), her niece, came to visit her in Valparaiso. According to a cousin, Rebecca was very close to her niece, Carrie.

      When Rebecca Pierce died in Valparaiso, Indiana in 1897, she was buried in Kirkland, IL and later J.D. Morris and his family were buried in the same plot.

      Rebecca Morris is listed in the 1929 Illinois Roll of Honor for her work as a Civil War nurse.
