Elizabeth Turner vs. Isaac PierceThe widow, Elizabeth Turner married for a second time on July 18, 1822. The groom was a widower named Isaac Pierce. Her brother Thomas served as bondsman. The marriage would prove to be short lived.Early Middle Tennessee MarriagesOn November 2, 1826, in Sumner County, Isaac petitioned the Tennessee State Legislature to dissolve the marriage. An extract of that petition, complete with spelling errors, is contained here. “Isaac Peairs was married in 1822 to Elzabeth. Isaac was then about 54 years old, having 13 children. Elizabeth was the widow of Arthur Tinnon, with 5 children. Isaac and Elizabeth separated for nearly two years and then went back together and have been together 12 or 18 months. Isaac has made a provision for Elizabeth thatshe and her brother, Thomas Gleaves, Jr., have accepted. Isaac and Elizabeth cannot get along, and want a divorce.”Tennessee Divorces 1797 -1858Divorce was a rarity during the first half of the 19thcentury with less than 750 granted in thestate of Tennessee from 1797-1858. It appears that Isaac’s petition was granted later that same year. A second, undated entry reads;“Isaac Pearce and his wife Elizabeth Pearce, have separated by mutual consent. They are to be divorced upon proof. Acts of Tennessee, 1826, p.134Tennessee Divorces 1797 -1858
