Anna Binion Pearce Caldwell and Tuzette Eliza Pearce Roberts.
Married Silas Talbert in Wilkinson County, Mississippi on 28 January 1812.
She was with him when he moved to the area of Four Forks, Louisiana out of Shreveport where he purchased land on the Louisiana-Texas border, where he as a planter for a number of years. Eventually he sold to his nephew James Leroy Talbert and they moved to near Bunkie, Rapides Parish, Louisiana.
Her husband amassed vast land holdings and became a very prosperous and wealthy man. He build her a magnificent home, which she lavishly decorated.
Having no children of her of her own, but took her sister, Delia Dunwoody's grandchild and raised as her own, when she was but a tiny baby, after both parents died. She loved Mary deeply and bathed her in all the luxuries that money could buy. She instilled in Mary the love of beautiful things, good music and to be of a kind, thoughtful and loving disposition. She loved to entertain and they had many dinners and dances within the plantation house.
Mary would go on to become a figure in the life of Solomon Northrop a slave who wrote his memories in a book and later movie "Twelve Years A Slave."
Molly would live out her life on the plantation with Silas and be buried with him on the land they had tended and loved. However, the exact location of their graves are not no known as apparently lost to time.
Note: there is another memorial for Mary Pearce, but this individual did not have her as Mary Pearce Talbert. He has taken the information I researched and posted it.
