Thomas Butcher Fierce (he always signed himsef T.B.), born June 22, 1813, died in Raymond, Kansas, September 25, 1896. He was a farmer and a Methodist. In the early days he was a preacher and very religious always. He married first Mary, daughter of John (b 1783 d 1843) and Sarah Jane (Jones) (b Lewis Co., West Virginia 1785) MacCartney. She
died in Raymond and he married a second wife there whose name is unknown. He had the true pioneer spirit and was on the move to new states until he reached Kansas and was too old to go farther. He moved with his family of children back and forth from Athens Co., to the new state of Indiana three times and this was in the memory of his son William Wallace as the most thrilling times of his life. They went by covered wagon, the boys sleeping underneath, driving the cow, stopping at night to milk. On Sundays there was no travelling but a stopover to hold religious services for themselves and nearby neighbors. The land in Indiana was very fertile, many lakes abounding in fish, and the forest with wild life. They were living in La Porte County at the time of the Civil War when W. W. was 22 and Henry was 20. One day the two boys walked to the county seat and in the town was a recruiting officer with martial music of fife and drum. They enlisted amd went home and told their folks. It was for three years service in the 87th In. Vol. Inf. 3rd. brig. 3rd. Div. 14th Army Corps. This was on August 28, 2862. They were under fire at Springfield, Kentucky, October 6 and in the battle of Perryville October 8. Other engagements Tullahoma, Hoovers Gap, Chattanooga, Chickamauga and Mission Ridge.
